This she did as she retook her vows on her 50th birthday. Joke Silva has proven that if she had to do it one more time, she would walk down the aisle again with her Prince Charming of 26 years. Actress, thespian, producer and activist.

I remember he proposed when we went for dinner. I think he got the people in the restaurant involved in the whole arrangement; oh…Olu and I dated for a couple of years before we got married. It was just so romantic! He was living in England at the time though, so that was their custom and he was used to it.

He was 39 and I was 20! Well, eventually it was my mum who gave me the go ahead because she saw how serious I was with him and hadn’t seen me that serious with anyone. My dad was worried about the age difference but my mum was able to make him see reason. When I first met Olu, he was this dashing guy. He was just such incredible fun! We got along very well. I didn’t even know his age; I thought maybe he was in his late twenties, early thirties. I screamed when I found out his age. She also had the background of her mum being much younger than her dad and didn’t really see a problem with it. She felt it was something I could handle.

A cousin of mine got married earlier and her dress was made with lace and aso-oke and I loved it. So I felt that if he was going to come in aso-oke, then that was what I would wear too. We were very happy with what we wore so we were really surprised when everyone went on and on about it. Our wedding attire??? Betty keeps saying we wore costumes.You know, my husband’s outfit was made from aso-oke and had a cape! A friend even teased us saying instead of the bride’s outfit to have had a cape, it was the husband’s that had it. It had always been what he wanted to wear on his wedding day. He told Lanre of Sophisticat exactly what he wanted and he designed it for him.

When you are not in the face of the media, it’s easier to resolve your differences, but when you are, it’s almost like you are not staying together for YOU because you are wondering, “What would people say?” And this mounts pressure. Talking about our marriage, we are 26 years in it and it has been quite a journey. There were rumours about us considering a divorce. It’s not like we actually separated but I must confess we were so close to it; it was really a tough time for both of us being a media couple.

Then I came to realise the true meaning of this verse in the Bible that says, “The plans He has for us are plans of good and not of evil.” I just started seeing it come into my home and I was like, “Is this the same home?” But I have to confess, I thank God for good friends because they talked to each party and brought solutions that I never thought were solutions. On my side, the solution that I was given was that I just had to take everything to God. I had to become someone who goes to Christ and nowhere else.

My tears started from when the band began playing the song, Tumigbe; that was the song I walked down the aisle to. The song was just so meaningful because it spoke to our situation and said,“Forgive me for everything I have done and let it all remain in the past.” It was a new page; a fresh start.

I have still not got over my birthday celebration and the renewal of my marital vows! My friends put everything together. They didn’t even let me spend a kobo. They went to the different associations I belong to and they were all willing to be a big part of the whole thing. There was so much love. I walked into Freedom Park and I just burst into tears; I was crying the whole day. They were also able to talk to Olu. I started crying when I was told he loved the idea of the renewal of our vows. The Lord was actually talking to me on how the whole thing should go. He even put the songs we were going to use for that day in my heart.

Throughout the journey, there have been some memories that time and tide can’t seem to wash away. My son will hate me for this, but I remember when he was born, he looked like a chick! He was all chest, just like frozen chicken. He has incredible broad shoulders just like his dad. Then Gbenga came 11 years after. He put me through hell in terms of the pregnancy. I hadn’t had any pregnancy that difficult. Our first child had passed away three years before Gbenga came.

When I attend weddings of young folks nowadays, I am usually upset by the sermon because having had the experience of my marriage and friends’ marriages too, I find it very irritating and annoying when pastors say, “Now, make sure you take care of your husband.” I just wish they can make everything equal. They make it seem like the entire marriage is on the woman and that is wrong! I think putting the Lord in your marriage is the bottom line and both parties have their parts to play (50-50) and I would expect that when the pastor or priest is talking, they should sound that way. There’s a lot of societal pressure that makes men not be themselves. A man should be allowed to be vulnerable, strong, supportive, sometimes challenged and needing somebody to help him through and he should also be there for the person as well.

On a parting note, for those couples about to jump the broom, go ahead and do it! Go in and enjoy each other; enjoy every moment of your marriage
