Actress Ekeni Umenwa has found herself at the center of attention, making headlines due to an incident that occurred during her recent wedding.
Ekeni, who had a traditional marriage ceremony about a week ago, followed it up with a stunning white wedding to filmmaker Alex Kleanson. The white wedding was a moment of pure joy for the couple as they officially sealed their union in a heartwarming ceremony.
The event was attended by a multitude of well-wishers, including colleagues, fans, and an entire congregation of family members who came to witness and celebrate this significant occasion. The atmosphere was filled with happiness and love as the lovebirds exchanged vows and rings, solidifying their commitment to one another.
However, the wedding took an unexpected turn when Ekeni’s husband, Alex Kleanson, surprised her by inviting gospel singer Moses Bliss to perform at the ceremony. As Moses Bliss sang, Ekeni couldn’t contain her excitement and started jumping around, displaying immense joy. She was visibly animated, and her emotions were on full display.
What particularly raised eyebrows and sparked debate among onlookers and internet users was when Ekeni left her husband’s side and approached Moses Bliss, going on to hug him and even knelt down while embracing him during his performance. Some guests and netizens couldn’t help but express their disapproval of her actions, considering them disrespectful and inappropriate.
One netizen went so far as to say that if he were in Alex’s shoes, he would have considered leaving the wedding. In his own words, he remarked, “I could just walk out of the wedding, go marry the singer. Just me, I consider it Eastish respectful.”
Another person raised a similar concern, questioning the actions of women in such situations, and suggested that leaving one’s husband to kneel at another man’s feet during a gospel song wasn’t a suitable way to express love for God. They wondered aloud, “Is that what it means to love God?”
In the midst of the criticism, there were some who supported Ekeni’s actions, suggesting that she understood the power of worship and was kneeling before the Holy Spirit. This supporter conveyed the idea that her reverence during the song was a symbol of devotion and spiritual significance. They even went so far as to suggest that her act of worship was intended to make nations bow before her name.
Ekeni Umunwa’s wedding became a topic of discussion, raising questions about the appropriateness of emotional expressions and gestures during such events, particularly in a religious context.
