In a heartwarming display of love, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo, founder of David Christian Center, has set a new standard for romance among couples.
On Sunday, January 19, 2025, during a church conference, he surprised his wife, Pastor Mildred Okonkwo, by reproposing to her in a touching gesture that left the congregation in awe.
Taking to his Instagram page @kingsleypst, Pastor Okonkwo joyfully expressed his intent to re-propose to his beloved wife, celebrating 20 years of their unwavering partnership.
Known for his insightful teachings on relationships, the co-host of LOVE, DATING and MARRIAGE (LDM) took his own advice to heart by inviting her favourite artist, Savy Henry, to serenade them with Best Part as he expressed his love.
He began with heartfelt words:
“It has been 20 solid years of unwavering support. This girl is so powerful; she is stresslessly classy, she is pricelessly valuable, and she is easily lovable.
“She is just a gift. I call her my cheat mode because marrying her makes teaching and living a successful marriage easy. Because I am not doing much, she does a lot; she brings so much to the table. She brings 95 per cent. I have a small surprise for you...”
After Savy Henry performed Best Part to the surprised Pastor Mildred, Pastor Kingsley asked with deep emotion on his bent knee,
“So I want to formally ask you to marry me again, I didn’t propose officially the first time, so I want to propose officially this time.”
The congregation erupted in applause, celebrating Pastor Mildred’s affirmative response.
In his shared post, he captioned announcing the result of his proposal and the plans for the vow renewal,
“....And she said yes Special thanks to the over 100 people involved in the plan
So see you all at the destination wedding (vow renewal) on the 3rd of September 2025.”
