Nigerian gospel sensation Steve Crown has officially tied the knot with his beloved, Ruth Thomas, in a ceremony that has captured the hearts of fans and fellow artistes across the nation.
The wedding, held on Saturday in Abuja, sparked widespread reactions on social media after a video surfaced showing Ruth kneeling before Steve as she took her vows. The emotional clip, shared by fellow gospel singers Joe Praize and Neon Adeojo on X, depicted Ruth — radiant in a stunning white gown — professing her deep love and devotion.
In her heartfelt vows, Ruth said,
*”I will be your haven of peace and a source of unwavering support. I vow to reason with an open heart, to share my dreams, and to walk beside you always. I promise to be your cheerleader, your partner, and your anchor.
With you, I have discovered the true essence of love, and I vow to cherish it with all that I am. I promise to love you unconditionally, to choose you every day, and to honour the sacred bond we share.”*
Ruth’s gesture of kneeling before her groom sparked a wave of mixed reactions online. While many applauded her humility and expression of respect, others criticized the act. Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority celebrated the couple’s touching display of love and commitment.
Following the ceremony, Steve Crown took to social media to express his gratitude, thanking God for blessing him with a woman after His own heart.
Prior to the white wedding, the couple celebrated their traditional marriage rites on April 18. During the event, Ruth couldn’t hold back her emotions, describing Steve as *“the love of my life”* and *“someone who completes me.”* She praised his constant encouragement and support, calling him her *“cheerleader”* and *“chaperone,”* adding, *“He is the reason why I smile, the reason why I’m happy. He means the whole world to me.”*
Steve Crown, best known for his hit song *”You Are Great,”* had announced his engagement on March 23, sharing a touching video where he lovingly placed a crown on Ruth’s head during the proposal. Captioning the post, he wrote,
*”Officially off the market! Two hearts fused by God… A walk to forever and the beginning of my best days.”*
While Steve initially kept Ruth’s identity private, it was later revealed that Ruth Thomas, a successful realtor, was the woman who had captured his heart.
The couple’s union has drawn an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fellow gospel artistes, including Judikay, Moses Bliss, Okopi Peterson, Joe Praize, Kaestrings, and Eben.
Interestingly, their wedding comes shortly after the buzz surrounding the celebrity nuptials of influencer Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, which had dominated social media headlines.
