A wedding ceremony slated to hold at Assemblies of God
Church, Okpu 2, in Aba, Abia State, weekend, was cancelled by the Church
following the alleged refusal of the bride to adhere to the church’s
pre-marriage procedures.
It was gathered that the bride refused to spend the night at
the parsonage of the church where she was supposed to have been counseled by
the wife of the officiating priest on the eve of the wedding.
It was also gathered that in accordance with the church’s
tradition, a pregnancy test was to be conducted on her before the wedding.
The bride, it was alleged, was properly informed that the
processes would be observed before the wedding which she earlier agreed to,
according to her knowledge of the Assemblies of God doctrine but did not show
up on the eve of her wedding.
According to Promise Uzoma Okoro, “the bride’s refusal to
stay at the parsonage, as required, prompted church authorities to cancel the
wedding.”
“Guests had already assembled for the event when the
announcement was made”, Okoro disclosed.
It was not confirmed if the bride and her husband-to-be
procured the service of another pastor to join them together in another church.
Guests and well wishes who came for the wedding from
different places, dispersed in disappointment and confusion.
Neither the church nor the couple has released any official
statement on the issue as of the time of filing this report.
