See Photos From The Church Wedding Of Former Catholic Priest

Love and happiness could be felt in the air as former Catholic priest Patrick Edet got hitched in a church wedding yesterday at the  Ibom Hall, IBB Avenue, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Patrick resigned as a priest in Akwa- Ibom 7 months ago. The former priest who served for 11-years married his love  Inyene Sampson Akpan, a graduate of the University of Uyo in the presence of many family and friends.   Inyene wowed in an off the shoulder ball gown complete with a silk veil and flower. The bride and groom were all smiles as they made their way to their reception upon being married as one.  Speaking on his resignation a few months back during a live TV show, he said; “On 31st of July, I resigned from my services, my duties and obligations as a Catholic priest. I ceased to be a Catholic priest in my thinking, in my spirit, in my soul, (and) in my body. Yesterday, the 1st of August, was my first day outside the laws, the regulations, (and) the authority of the Catholic church. In my mind, every law that bound me, bound me because I submitted myself to the Catholic Church as an institution. Having submitted my resignation letter to my authorities in the Catholic Church, in my spirit, soul and body, I am free from every law that guided me. I submit myself to one authority – God. Peace has been taken away from me for years. I live in fear and in doubt. Sometimes I doubt myself – am I really right, am I in the right place.”   Photo Credit: Getty
