Nigerian born American Information Technology Specialist, Mr. James W. Adeyemi, who found love and traveled from the United States of America tied the knot with a beautiful Liberian woman, Miss. Zanimba Dugbo, from Montserrado County.
The scene was a victory of love as the couple proceeded towards the podium for the official signing of the Marriage Certificate and Licenses.
The lovely and infrequent marriage of a mute couple was witnessed by the Liberian National Archives Director-General, Hon. Emmanuel A. Lomax, members of the speech impaired community in Liberia, friends and supporters of the newly wedded couples.
Minutes after the wedding ceremony, the deaf-and-mute couple with undying love for each other steps out of the hall for a photo shot along with several guests in the agency’s compound.
Mr. James W. Adeyemi, and Miss. Zanimba Dugbo, are the first voiceless couple to host a wedding event at the Center for National Documents and Records Agency since its establishment on November 14, 1977.
