Ebeye posted a beautiful photo of herself and her mother on their big day as she wished her mum a happy married life in a touching message on Instagram.

"18 years you stayed alone, to give your kids the best. Even when you didn't have. You wore rags so your kids could have the best. You'll rather brag about your kids than yourself. The best mum anyone could hope for and the best wife for a wise man. I thank God for this time in your life. An opportunity to be happy again. Happy married life mum. May God continue to bless you for us," she captioned the photo.

This is the second marriage for Akinrinade, 18 years after she was granted divorce from her first husband, Ebeye's father.

Congratulations to the new couple.
