A wedding ceremony in Nigeria has been abruptly called off after the bride discovered that her fiancé had no plans to contribute financially to their big day.
The story was made public by Facebook user Osuchukwu Jane Ezeakolam, who revealed that the bride had paid in full for her wedding gown but later requested a refund just three weeks before the ceremony.
Jane explained that despite several efforts to contact the bride during the wedding week, the bride was unresponsive and never showed up to collect her gown. Eventually, it was revealed that she had cancelled the wedding altogether.
According to the post, the bride’s decision came after realizing that her partner had refused to contribute any money toward their wedding expenses.
She wrote: “This my bride came and booked her wedding gown .. made her payment and the date was already fixed. I wrote down the date cos we don’t book wedding gowns without an accurate wedding date,” she wrote in a Facebook post on September 17.
But she said at time goes on … the husband to be refused to do the necessary things .. He left everything for her to carter .. at a point she has already paid part payment to the decoration woman .. part payment to cake, part payment for hall.
The man refused to pay a dime for anything .. when the list for drinks and food came out .. the man told the lady to pay too .. hmm.
That was why she had to open up to her family to tell them what was happening.. He was supposed to come see the family of the lady but no .. nothing nothing .. it’s almost 3 weeks to the wedding date .. He has not come to see her family.
The lady said she cried .. wept .. the man was just silent.. The lady summoned the courage and called off the wedding … she said lo and behold .. the man till today didnt ask her why she called off the wedding .. the man went his way .. she went her way
I said there is nothing I will not see in this life ooo .. her marriage date was close .. Tuesday to her wedding cos we call our brides on Tuesday and Wednesday of their wedding week to come carry their gown to avoid been on the road Thursday Friday to their wedding.. we called her number was switched off .. others came and carried their wedding gown that week except her .. her number was switched off.
After one month .. she summoned the courage and called .. she told me what happened I was speechless.. I told her to send her account number to refund her of the money she deposited with us .. she was speechless.. she said all the people she paid advance payment refused giving her back her money .. I told her I’m Different.. I’m not them. She sent her acct details I refunded her her 80k .. she was happy
My Counsel. I don’t know but this is my little advise to young ladies about to get married .. except this man is walking on the same pace with you .. Never you fund your own wedding.. Never you bring money to pay your own bride price .. Ekere oru Eke .. I ve seen a man that still mock the wife till today that she was desperate to marry him that’s why she gave him money to pay her bride price
Is even better he borrows the money elsewhere and come and marry you if he does not have the money, than you giving him money to come and pay for your bride price
This was the exact situation of this my bride ..She was doing too much .. and my question again to Men is what do they really want ??? .. you get a supportive wife you say she’s doing too much .. you get troublesome wife .. wahala promax .. what do you want.
Ladies you can support your hubby to be for wedding preparations.. but know when YOU ARE DOING TOO MUCH .. cos he will tell you one day that you are doing too much.
