I didn’t feel like the groom on my wedding day – Tunji Sotimirin

Published




Veteran actor and lecturer, Dr Tunji Sotimirin, has disclosed his experience on the day he got married, saying he participated in all the events.

Known for Head Gone (2014), Ewe Koko (2006),  Hostages (1997) among others, Sotimirin said he and his wife courted for a few months before deciding to tie the knot. He said,

I found it interesting that I had to perform on my wedding day. I performed with a band and also anchored the wedding with the master of ceremonies. At some point, I had to stand up to recognise some people during the wedding. It was a participatory kind of event; I didn’t feel like the groom at my wedding.

He added,

We didn’t court for long. I can’t recall for how long but it was for a few months. I don’t like gambling. When I got to that stage in life, I knew I was ready for marriage. I told her I don’t like to deceive people and I don’t like it when people deceive me either. So, we were on the same page.

Asked his opinion on the ingredients for a lasting and successful marriage,

“I will say patience and resilience . You have to ignore some attitudes in your spouse that do not go well with you. In the course of the relationship, there are things you have to ignore and others you absorb. You have to be humble.

“There are times you have to tell your partner you are sorry. Be fervent in prayers. Be sincere and open with your spouse; let your spouse know all you have. Also, appreciate your partner’s contribution to the family; it might not be monetary appreciation all the time. The time you spend with your spouse also matters. Try to be real. Let them know you are open and sincere.”
