A physically challenged couple has tied the knot at a wedding ceremony in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The bridegroom, Mr Oladele Adebanji and his heartthrob Bunmi Onipede wedded on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at Oluyole Chesire home, a transitional shelter facility for people living with disabilities.
According to Nigerian Tribune, the bridegroom who had spent over 2 decades at the Oluyole Chesire home is currently a staff member of the organisation.
Speaking at the ceremony, one of the management members of the Oluyole Chesire home, Dr Funmi Sanda, stated that the wedding ceremony was organised after both couple and their family members expressed interest in each other.
In an interview with the Mother of the bride, Mrs Bolaji Onipede, she noted that she was glad that her daughter could get married with her disability.
“I am glad that my daughter could still get married despite her disability and my advice to them is to love one and other,” she added.
Speaking, the elder sister to the bridegroom, Adefunke Oladapo, appreciated God for making the marriage happen.
Oladapo further added that she had been the one taking care of him as the eldest child in the family since the demise of their parents over 30 years ago.
“I am very glad this is taking place today, because some people believe he can’t live a normal life again because of his disability, I have been the one taking care of him after the loss of our parents over 30 years ago.”
