Nigerian gospel music sensation Steve Crown has officially tied the knot with his fiancée, Ruth Thomas, in a beautiful wedding ceremony that has captured the attention of fans, fellow artistes, and social media users alike.
The star-studded event, which took place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, in Abuja, became a trending topic after a video surfaced online showing the emotional moment Ruth knelt before Steve to exchange her vows. The clip, shared by gospel artistes Joe Praize and Neon Adejo on X (formerly Twitter), drew widespread reactions.
In the video, Ruth, elegantly dressed in a stunning white gown, professed her love and commitment, saying:
“I will be your heaven of peace and source of unwavering support. I vow to reason with an open heart and to share my dreams. 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 vow to love you unconditionally; I choose you every day, and to honour our secret bond.”
The bride’s touching gesture of kneeling sparked mixed reactions across social media. While many praised the act as a symbol of humility, love, and deep reverence, others debated its cultural implications. However, the overwhelming response celebrated the couple’s public display of devotion and spiritual connection.
Steve Crown, best known for his hit worship anthem “You Are Great”, took to social media shortly after the ceremony to express gratitude, thanking God for blessing him with “a woman after His own heart.”
The couple had earlier held their traditional marriage on April 18, 2025, where Ruth showered heartfelt praises on Steve, describing him as “the love of my life, my cheerleader, and my anchor.” She added, “He is the reason why I smile, the reason why I’m happy. He means the whole world to me.”
Steve had announced his engagement on March 23, 2025, through a heartwarming video where he tenderly placed a crown on Ruth’s head as a symbol of his love and commitment. Captioning the video, he wrote: “Officially off the market! Two hearts fused by God… A walk to forever and the beginning of my best days.”
Though Steve initially kept his bride’s identity private, it was later revealed that Ruth Thomas is a professional realtor based in Abuja.
The wedding has drawn congratulatory messages from several notable figures in the gospel music community, including Judikay, Moses Bliss, Okopi Peterson, Joe Praize, Kaestrings, and Eben.
The couple’s union follows closely behind the recent celebrity wedding between influencer Priscilla Ojo and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, which also made waves across social platforms.
