Carissa Sharon, the daughter of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome married her Ghanaian friend, Phillip Frimpong, in Lekki today, Saturday, October 6th 2018.
The photo above shows the moment the couple shared their first kiss right before the bride’s father and the congregation.
Members of her Church Christ Embassy, Nigeria’s former president Olusegun Obasanjo, popular singer Sinach, and many others were present at the lavish affair. Everybody is asking, where’s her mom in the wedding photos?
Phillip and Carissa Sharon got engaged last year in the UK. News of the engagement first broke when Sharon’s mother, Anita Oyakhilome, took to Facebook to wish her daughter well in marriage.
The two later confirmed the news on their Instagram pages with Carissa Sharon describing Phillip as her “very best friend”.
“YES! I am engaged to my very best friend! The most amazing and my absolute favorite person -@iampf! I am so, so blessed. I would say yes over and over I love you ”, she wrote.
An equally elated Phillip also wrote: “God loved me enough to give me @carissasharon – She said yes!”
While Carissa is a Gospel musician, Phillip is the co-founder of ONUA, an online shop which sells products including lampshades, coasters and mugs made from Kente and Dutch Wax Print.
He was born to Ghanaian parents in the Netherlands and raised in the UK.
Congrats to the happy couple!
