Church Cancels Couple’s Wedding Over Bride’s Refusal to Spend Night at Pastor’s House

A couple’s wedding ceremony slated to hold at Assemblies of God Church, Okpu 2, in Aba, Abia State, weekend has been cancelled.

The Church cancelled the following the alleged refusal of the bride to adhere to the church’s pre-marriage procedures, a report by DailyPost has revealed.

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.
