Bride refuses to show up in church on wedding day

There was serious drama at St Emmanuel Cathedral Church, Okesa, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state on Saturday, June 8 as a bride who was supposed to be joined in holy matrimony to her husband refused to turn-up for her the ceremony. The groom, his friends and relatives waited in vain for the arrival of the bride until they found out that she was not coming.

It was gathered that the enraged husband-to-be and his friends stormed the bride’s family resident to unleash their anger when it done on them that the bride won’t show up.
However, sources said that it appeared something was wrong earlier when the Cathedral Administrator, who had gone out in the morning got back to his residence at the time the wedding was to take place, changed his clothes and went out again.

“Then we knew that something was wrong and people had been coming here since around noon and we have been telling them that the wedding has been postponed,” the source said.

According to the source, the problem, which could not be clarified had to do with the bride, adding that, “only that we suspect that it must be a family issue as we gathered that the lady’s parents are dead.”

Another source said the bride, an indigene of Ado Ekiti, had already been living with a man, whom she had been saying was a member of her family.
Unconfirmed sources also said the matter has been taken to the palace of the Ado Ekiti Monarch, Oba Adeyemo Adejugbe, for intervention.
