Good evening ladies and gentleman my name is Charles Jr Chidi Ohaeri and I’ll be your Master of Ceremonies for tonight’s encounting celebration it’s an encounter we are encounting each other. Merriem-Webster’s defines Encounter as an unexpected experience or an unexpected or casual meeting with someone or something. As it stands this isn’t a casual meeting this is a wedding celebration built on the backs of our bride and grooms encounters making this an Unexpected experience I say false albeit this be an experience I refuse to believe that we are here un-expectantly. When two people are in love they tend to want share that love with friends, family, colleagues, co-workers and most importantly with each other. Half of the room came here for Powell with the other half coming for Anderson but we all came to meet the Andersons. So in the spirit of shared love if you could turn to the person to the left of you and then to the person of the right of you and simply say to them “it is going to be a pleasure to share this encounter with you.”
