A couple's wedding day turned to a sad one after the bride's father abruptly called off the occassion.

According to reports, Oluwaseun Adugbe's father called off her wedding to Tunji Curtis, her fiance of five years and the father of her five year old child.

Tunji had arrived Ibadan with his family and friends to marry the love of his life but to his uttermost shock, his father in-law told him point blank that the wedding had been called off.

When asked why he took such a rash decision, the father, Mr Adugbe who is a native of Edo state, told the groom that he failed to honor a meeting he called for on Friday which should have preceded the wedding on Saturday.

A distraught Tunji told Tribune that he was shocked at his fiancee's father's decision

“This is shocking. I don’t believe this is truly happening, because my wife and I had no issues at all and I can’t remember having any issue with her father. In fact, I sent money to her father last week Thursday as part of my contributions towards the wedding. I asked my father in-law what went wrong; he told me that I failed to honour a meeting yesterday. I tried to explain to him that I was extremely busy making sure that everything was in place so that we could have a smooth celebration.”[/i]Tunji said

Asked what his next plans would be, Tunji simply said: “ Right now, I just want to forget about this drama and cool off. I will think of the next thing to do when I wake up tomorrow.”

Tunji’s elder sister, Abibat, who came to Ibadan with about 15 persons, including family members and friends, said she was disappointed by the actions of the bride’s family, adding that

“[i]You can imagine the excuse that they gave for the cancellation of the wedding. I have never seen any family that is as irresponsible as this. I don’t blame them; I blame our son, who took the wrong step. The wedding is over and we will be going back to Lagos anytime from now,” [/i]she lamented.

Another member of the family, Olayinka Ogunbajo, who brought the wedding cake from Lagos said the family members met the father of the bride on their arrival from Lagos with the cake, saying

“[i]the father told us where we would keep the cake on Friday. He welcomed us heartily into his house and there was no reason for us to think otherwise. On getting here this morning, we were told that the wedding had been called off. I am speechless.”

Efforts to speak with the bride’s father proved abortive as he declined comment. The bride also declined comment.

The father isn't telling the true story behind his absurd action

Kasala

Chim oo

Please send some of the Food across .More seriously, the groom should know that these old men hold customs and culture above every other thing. So if the customs demanded for the meeting ,he should have honoured it. What a hard way to learn!!!.

May God preserve us from unforeseen embarrassment.

Nah the father lost out here! He wasn't even happy that the father of the baby born by, probably not well trained daughter, is ready to accept the baby and daughter and make their relationship "legal". He is there getting angry over one useless meeting at odd time. Iranu!

Sense fall on their family as a whole!

WTF

do fathers have the right to do this?

no reason, smh

The bride is already your baby mama, why waste so much money? Just ignore the father, take your bae to registry and seal the deal.

anyway to get some meat for myself?

Who will eat all that fried meat

It was said he had accused Tunji of failing to honour a meeting with other members of the family on Friday, a development which left them with no option but to cancel the wedding.

What an egoistic man for a father.

Dude cancelled the wedding because his soon to be son in-law didn't turned out to be the ass licker like he hoped.

Wedding between two adults! Nah he has no right to cancel unless the zombie couple didn't want to be together in the first place.

Believe me that lady go tey for her papa house! Wch kain embarrassment be this

FTjnr:
do fathers have the right to do this?

They dont.But this is africa

Lol so funny

na wah.

that moment when you get to find out that the marriage will not happen... after you have told all your fellow baby mamas that you are about to upgrade.

i feel sorry for d bride. she would have to remain trapped the baby mama zone for some more time..

thanks to her father.

Stupid reason to cancel the wedding.

this is my comment

It is taken me all my life to understand that it is not necessary to understand everything

And it may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others

The man must be high on something.

Run away from their daughter before something fall on you.

That is culture above her children. May God forgive him

He should tell us what, these are just flimsy excuse. Nonsense

Baba why?

What an embarrassing moment.

There's more to this than meets the eye in this story certainly...

Supposed happy gone sore, and a bad experience to witness such may such fate never befall us.

This is unpleasant...

Anyways, Happy Sunday people. The message I was asked to give is to remind you that JESUS CHRIST loves you so much and wants a relationship with you. Accept Him as LORD and Savior of your life, and it shall be well with you. Amen
