The young man in the proposal video that went viral a few days ago has responded on social media. According to him, his girlfriend said “Yes” that day, and he does not need the permission of the pastor to marry her.

The man in the middle of the drama, Emokpae Ehis, reached out to Linda Ikeji’s Blog to state his own side of the story.

He revealed that the lady in the video has been his girlfriend for seven months. That is why he then decided to propose to her at her elder sister’s wedding which held at Souls Harvesters Ministries in Delta State.

Read what he said below.

“I am the guy that got engaged and this took place in Soul Harvesters church. My name is Ehis Emokpae. I didn’t regret and will never regret any of my act.”

He then continued:

“I am so happy I engaged her in the presence of God, and her biological parents were right there, and the pastor is just a spiritual father. I am the guy, and the family knows me very well.

“She accepted the ring; that’s what matters to me. The bride is the elder sister of the girl I engaged. The pastor said it was the church doctrine not to do that. I have been quiet for days about this issue because I don’t want to judge a man of God to the public… But the case is out anyway.

“The last prayer for that service was taking place already. The consent of a pastor is not needed before proposing to his member. She needs to accept getting married to you before reaching out to their various pastors. I see no wisdom in such act… Engaging your girl in the presence of God is the best thing as a Christian.

“I don’t believe that was the church doctrine. It was the pastor’s doctrine… And another thing, I wasn’t stealing someone else’s show. The pastor to the groom’s church wasn’t happy about what the bride’s pastor did in that service. Right in the service, people were congratulating the both of us. Please, nobody should insult the pastor or the church, Souls Harvester… I just want people to get a clear picture of what happened.”
