He said that people couldn't believe their eyes when they saw them in the tricycles.
"...Riding in our Keke to the reception venue we created lots of scene for people to watch, they just couldn't believe that the Leader of the council couldn't afford a Lamborghini and was riding in a Keke truck," he wrote via Facebook.
He prayed for their union to continue to be fun and lovely.
Why the couple used Keke
In a chat with Legit.ng, the groom who is a serving Councillor and also the Legislative Leader of Udenu LGA of Enugu State opened up that the idea behind the tricycle use was to encourage a paradigm shift as well as make a statement. In his words:
"My choice of Keke was primarily to make a statement. I wanted to encourage a paradigm shift, people should be encouraged to live within their means without being shamed for it. I could have borrowed expensive cars to ride on my wedding day thereby living up to society's expectations but to encourage less spending on the wedding, we opted to ride on Keke.
"Secondly, my wife and I thought it would give us more fun. Marriage was meant to be simple and fun and not so cumbersome."
His family actually opposed the idea of using tricycles on their wedding day
When asked if there was any opposition to the idea of tricycle use, he said that his best friend and family were not in support of it.
"Yes, there were oppositions to the Keke idea. The next person I shared it with after my wife was my Best man who is a close friend. I equally told my family about it.
"None of them supported me. There reason was that I was too big to use Keke for my wedding. My fellow legislator felt It was a disgrace to my office as a legislative leader to use Keke for a very important occasion such as my wedding."
His wife's friends also opposed the idea.
"My wife also faced opposition from her friends, especially the bridesmaids, they doubted she could do it, and they were shocked on the wedding day when she mounted the Keke with joy and so much happiness. At last, everyone became happy with the decision and the fun that came with it."
