In a video from the occasion that was posted by actress @eveesin on Instagram and spotted by Legit.ng, Ekene's dramatic reaction when the musician joined her and her husband on stage was captured.
It all started with the actress and her husband on the dancefloor when she heard Moses Bliss' voice. She started to look around with a surprised expression on her face before she finally spotted the gospel singer.
Ekene quickly ran to the musician and went on her knees while hugging him around the waist. She stayed on her knees for several seconds with her husband standing beside her with a slight smile on his face.
After a while, Ekene's husband helped her get back on her feet, but the actress, still very excited, decided to hug Moses Bliss tightly with her husband beside them.

Gospel singers have fans too
A Nigerian lady and church worker, Grace Keshinro, spoke with Legit.ng on the viral video of Ekene Umenwa and Moses Bliss at her wedding. According to her, gospel musicians also have fans.
"Just as every other type of artist has fans and people who are loyal to them and respect them, gospel artists have their people too - people who love them and honour them, with emphasis on honour!
For a believer, listening to a song isn't always about the good beats and rhythmic sounds, it is largely about how deeply the lyrics resonate, and how powerfully the lyrics transform and boost their confidence!
Unlike any other type of song that is merely for entertainment, here today, gone tomorrow, gospel songs live forever. Now that's the art of a person, I mean, if a gospel song did so much to your soul for a long time, what happens when you see the one who sang that song?"
Speaking further, she noted how fans of secular musicians grab them and even tear their clothes in excitement because people have different ways of expressing happiness. According to her, she sees nothing wrong in how Ekene acted because it's her own wedding.
"About the bride, do you know that it might even be that she was starstruck and greatly surprised, I mean we've seen people cry because they met celebrities they love, and the fact that her husband surprised her with this particular artist gives a great notion of how important this artist is to them!
So, if kneeling and crying at his feet is the way she chooses to express herself, so be it!
I really don't see any big deal, and at the end of the day, it was at her wedding! Gosh! Her wedding! For real, others' opinions don't count, cause we all don't know what or how much that artist means to her."
