BRIDE DUMPS GROOM AT THE ALTAR IN ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA


Werd Wedding News


In the past we've always heard of brides abadoned at the altar but this time a groom was stood up before the priest and congregation.

A final student of Federal Polytechnic, Oko in Anambra State, did the unthinkable when she dumps her groom on her wedding day and called off the wedding already arranged by
the two families.

The wedding was to take place on Saturday, 3 January, 2015 and guests invited to witness the ceremony at St. Patrick Catholic Church, Umuchu in Aguata Local government, Anambra State, were shocked when Ifunanya Igwebuike refused to show up to tie the knot with Ekene Uzoigwe. After several hours of waiting, she later sent a message to the Parish Priest, Rev. Father Lawrence Maduagwu, that she was no longer interested and asked him to cancel the wedding.

Ifunanya alleged that she could not go ahead with the marriage because she was a graduate unlike Uzoigwe whom she claimed was a school drop-out. He also said he had paid her bride price and she was part of the whole wedding plan and he even gave her parents N160,000 to prepare for the wedding, besides other arrangements and expenses incurred on the wedding and reception.

Uzoigwe said she did not inform him about her decision to back out of the wedding until he got to the church only for the priest to inform him and the guests about the cancellation.
Rev. Maduagwu had no option than to inform the groom and the guests that were already seated at the church hall that the wedding had been cancelled. This caused an uproar in the church as guests who expressed shock over what happened started trooping out of the church. Narrating what happened, Uzoigwe said he proposed to Ifunanya for marriage and she agreed on condition that he would send her to school, which he agreed. He said after she gained admission, he was financing her education and they agreed to wed during her final year.

He also said he had paid her bride price and she was part of the whole wedding plan and he even gave her parents N160,000 to prepare for the wedding, besides other arrangements and expenses incurred on the wedding and reception.

“If she had informed me, I would not have made arrangements. We had already cooked food and bought drinks for the wedding,” he said.
He said when he contacted her parents, they said they would not force her and asked him to come and take back the money he gave them to prepare for the wedding. Uzoigwe said he was still shocked about what happened because he did not quarrel with Ifunanya before the fateful day. He said he also made sure she was comfortable by making money available to her while in school.

Uzoigwe is a business man based in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State. He met Ifunanya at their home town, Umuchu, where he proposed and sent her to school.

THE TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE PHOTOS: PJ WEDS SUNNY

From the massive traffic at Festac town yesterday, you could tell that something was happening and the obvious questions were "what is happening", "who are they", "where're they from" And bla bla blah...lol...It's Josephine Enemor and Sunny Ihesiaba's traditional marriage. It was a colourful, classy and a typical igbo traditional wedding, as both couples are from the eastern part of Nigeria. Everyone was in red, white and gold attires especially the stunning bride in her gold lace, red george with circle patterned embriodery, and a stony glittering gold purse, the groom looking smart and dashing, men in red cap and beautiful maidens in array. I can go on and on about the event and you can be assured that it was funfilled as Royalty Okasions were in charge *wink*... Click HERE  to view their wedding website.
