Excerpts:
2face’s
vows were simple and straight to the point, almost like something from a
love song. It didn’t seem as thought out as most of his lyrics but he
did make an effort and for that Annie must have been ecstatic. Annie’s
vows, however, were sweet and laden with deep-seated meaning that most
people too busy with the romance of it all may have missed.
Here
is what Annie Idibia (nee Macauly) said in her vows, and immediately
after each extract is our interpretations of what she must have really
meant to say.

My
joy, my heart, my friend, my love! I stand before you today as open as I
can ever be, humbled by the light and love in your eyes.

I
can’t believe it’s really happening; right now, right here, with all my
friends and family witnessing my wedding to you. All those friends of
mine who advised me to leave you, well, I am glad I didn’t listen. Most
of them only said so because they were jealous of our love and wanted to
have you too. Some called me delusional; they didn’t even believe you
were the father of our darling girl until she was born an exact replica
of her handsome daddy but all that doubt has come to a halt on this fine
day, the day I promise to share my life with you.

Thirteen
years ago, I met the most amazing man on earth. I flew on the wings of
that love, uncaring, unheeding; believing firmly that you are and will
always be the wind beneath my wings.

We
had our rough times, the fights, the breakups, the other women and
eventually the children. People laughed at me when I told them I would
one day be your wife. My family tried to pray the devil out of me
because only a charmed woman could still love a man after all the many
concubines and the children born from those relationships. I met you in
my teens, fell in love with you that fine day at Even Ezra Studio and it
didn’t matter what anyone said; I was just 15 but I knew you were the
one God had made for me so I stayed to fight it out.

Life
happened; oh yes, life happened. But through it all, my heart beat only
for you. My heartbreak became my greatest joy, my strength, my life.

for you. My heartbreak became my greatest joy, my strength, my life.
I
lost our first baby through a rather unfortunate incident. Where those
men came from and who sent them, I may never know but with every blow, I
could feel the life of our little one slip right through me. I thought
it was over for us when that happened, over for me, but you stayed, you
nursed me back to health, made sure I was okay and you loved me. Oh, you
loved me and as a result of that love, our darling girl was made.

Day
after day, I am more in love with you. When people ask me, ‘What is
love?’ I say ‘Love is right here’: this moment, this second, today,
tomorrow. Love is you, love is real, love is my eternity with you
Innocent Ujah Idibia. I give you all of me today knowing that in you and
you only has this imperfect girl found perfection.
You
have put a ring on my finger and have ended my 10-year ridicule. No more
can people look at me and scorn me for being one of your many women.
Today, you have made a choice to love me eternally and completely and I
return that love. I know this does not mean your insatiable libido will
be curbed immediately but I will be here through it all and I will help
you learn the true meaning of love and faithfulness.

I
do 13 years ago when I met you, I do seven years ago, I do five years
ago when we created our daughter. I do through all the blogs and tabloid
headlines. And on this day, at this very second, I stand in front of
the world and I say I do take you as my wedded husband. I love you. I
love you so much; so, so much.

The
tabloids, the news, the media, they said all those negative things
about us, about the other women, about your love for them. They reported
you had proposed to Pero, that you fathered Sumbo’s child and only used
me as a play thing. Today, however, your action of love has truly
vindicated me. It has shown the world that in the end, true love
prevails; and it is that love that moved you all those many years ago to
single me out of a sea filled with beautiful women and ask me to be
your love forever. That day I said yes and today my stance is same. I
love you 2Face, baby mamas and all.

There
have been lots of negative public opinion on Annie’s choice to marry
2Face considering his obvious love for women but isn’t it possible that
the music god is done “sowing his royal oats” and has now truly decided
to value his vow to Annie? When is it time to call it quits on a
relationship? And how long is too long to wait for your ideal man to pop
the question? Please share your thoughts.
