What was planned as a day of joyful union between a couple (names withheld) weekend turned awry as the spiritual leader of a fast growing miracle church in Benin City, Edo State capital declined to wed a couple following the refusal of the groom to pull his Italian designer shoes before entry into the church.
Worshippers, friends, family members and well-wishers who stormed the church were disappointed as the groom, who claimed he bought his shoes for N50,000, was adamant as he shunned pleas from his bride to comply with the rules of the church.
According to a source in the know, the church is reputed for miracles which have led to the influx of new converts from residents in the vicinity. It was learnt that the groom’s who was expected to prevail on the groom shunned all effort to ensure that the wedding took place.
Meanwhile, as the drama raged, guests and well-wishers who were seated under the canopies for reception at the same venue were lavishly entertained by hired caterers as the confusion between the church’s overseer and the couple.
The beautiful bride who refused to be consoled over the incident wept profusely before church members, and the groom soon followed as tears freely ran down his cheeks.
A senior pastor in the church who does not want his name in print said: “It is quite unfortunate that the groom is adamant.
“We expected that the bride who is our member must have educated him enough. It is not new among our members. Politicians, business moguls who often visit comply with our ways of worship and I must say that what we do here is divine and biblical.”

ReplyDeleteWe no even want to c their faces too!
May the best baker win!
How would it be free and fair if they include their names or logos? If it's done that way, some bvs will be voted based on their popularity.
DeleteI suggest no pics of the bakers or names should be attached to the pics of the cakes, that way, bvs would vote based on the artistry.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure he was crying seeing as the guests was lavishly eating his hard earned meal
Oh my G
Pele ehh. Better to wed in a catholic church with your marriage cert intact than all this mushroom church that may collapse anytime.
Which church b dat abeg?
ReplyDeleteWas he supposed to remove shoe just cos it's his weddin or its a norm of d church? Cos if it's a norm d bride ought to av told her man long b4 den....so I don't get it
He wld have just complied den. During. D reception he wear is so called shoe back! Hian!
ReplyDeleteSeems d guy didnt want to marry her afterall else what is removal of shoe that he wont budge? Its not like he was told 2 donate d shoe
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity.. Since he knew he wouldn't comply with the doctrine of the church, why did he agree to wed in that church?
ReplyDeleteBut if it's the tradition of the church, why can he remove his shoes? Nor his wife to be didn't educate him enough.. if I slap am eeh; am sure he just came back from Spain, nah so them go dey misbehave with long pointed shoes. Yeye dey smell.
ReplyDeletepride goes before a fall they say.

DeleteReally sad, is it a white garment church? #noshade here oh
ReplyDeleteAhn Ahn
ReplyDeleteAll the white garment level. Ndi di egwu. One holy sabbath in Aba where my uncle is a staunch member and his inlaw the chief shepherd, he wedded without his shoes on. I dodge dem. Linda Eze that's your community people.
ReplyDeleteSee talk... The groom sef
ReplyDeleteWhen will folks learn from the bible that God never mandated the church to wed couples? Where in the scriptures did a wedding take place in synagogue or church? Pay the bride price of the girl and she is your wife; fill her tummy with babies; God willing!
ReplyDeleteNa waao, our people have turned things upside down because they believe the have to whitwr than the white man even when the white man is terribly wrong. A father or his representative hands his daughter to a man to marry after they have reached and agreement. That is what it is for all ages. But today our people want a man(church or judge) who has no right over a girls hand over another man's daughter. The only reason is my people of nowadays go into marriage with an eye on when they would divorce and what they will get at that point.
DeleteMy only problem with this young man is that he should have known what is called loyalty so that if you belong to any society( in this case that 'church') you should play by the rules. However, if the young man had married his wife before this incident, he doesn't need to shed a tear especially if he was coaxed into doing it just to please people. But I guess that people would continue to live by what they believe in whether right or wrong before the creator
Am sure the altar is an holy alter where you dont wear shoes to enter. The groom is too puff up jare. N50,000 shoes. The man will be my igbo brother, once they buy better shoes, you must snap them and the shoes must show. I know them very well.
ReplyDeletePity the groom just allowed his foolishness to spoil the bride's joy.
The food those visitors ate freely? are they that hungry. Benin party is where they eat food like no man's business. they behave like hungry lot.
Errr I'm not Benin.
DeleteWhy can he remove the shoes,he isn't interested in the marriage, just used that as an excuse, maybe he was forced to marry the girl,anyway it is well
ReplyDeleteIt's a sign from God, he is does not love her.
Delete@Ehi hahahahaha that's a funny excuse . Hmmm... I no wan yan wetin church don turn us to for Naija . They can't try it else where !! Especially they take advantage of how gullible we are . This doesn't make sense !! Will it make their marriage stronger or last longer if he took off his shoes?
DeleteInstead of the church to focus on real marital issue they are carried away with non issue as stated above . What a way to ruin a day... Smh
Which one be remove shoes on a wedding day abi na white garment church?
ReplyDeleteWonders shall never end!
ReplyDeleteDidn't his bride brief him before hand on the rules and tenents of her church? Mtchw.
ReplyDeleteAt least the guests were well entertained. Perhaps they should have a quiet registry wedding ( if they haven't already done so), and put the whole thing to rest.
Click my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
Lmao!!! But dude should have just comply naa atlest to save the moment he must be a very stubborn person. Still lmao..
ReplyDeleteHe is an idiot, was nonsense will he sleep with the shoes on him? I don't really understand why pepple like to riddicle demsef all in the name f principle mtcheeeew I only feel for the bride. Mayb its a sign from God telLing her not to marry him. Imagine someone say he bought the shoes for 50'k and so wat if he bought it for 200k? Hmmm bride better be careful change ur mind now r forever remain in slavery with dis materialistic fool u cal a husband.

ReplyDeleteHmmmm what sef???? Didn't the bride tell him the dos n don'ts of the church? Abi the groom just want to humiliate her..... nawah
ReplyDeleteDude didn't cared for bride ni? Nawao sad shaa
ReplyDeleteOdiegwu! It is divine and biblical because God showed His Presence in a bush and demanded that Moses pull of his footwear because of His Holy Presence. And after that moment, did same God begin requesting the removal of foot-wears in all places He showed His Presence?
ReplyDeleteHumans! Forever burdening themselves and others with the trivial.
Anyway, this 21st century so wey na by fair and foul means every-every na prophet so, I no dey advice footwear-removal. But na dat one concern una wey dey find miracle everywhere.
Haba
ReplyDeleteLol, haba now
ReplyDeletePls in quest of miracle.. we should also be careful. .
ReplyDelete..it is well
Maybe the groom is a juju man... The act itself is crazy, but why didnt he just comply. Poor bride...

DeleteThe groom doesn't love the bride and God just delivered that woman .If he loves her , he will comply for her sake .I hate him for disgracing that poor lady .
ReplyDeleteVery stubborn groom. what would it take for him to take off his shoes and put it back on later?
