On October 23, 2019, a shocking incident occurred in Nigeria when a 35-year-old bride fainted on her wedding day after her groom's alleged wife showed up, claiming to be married to the groom.
The bride, who had taken a loan from her bank to help pay for the wedding, had been planning the ceremony with her fiancé for some time. However, things took a dramatic turn when the groom's alleged wife appeared at the wedding, claiming to be married to the groom.
According to a Twitter thread shared by the bride's cousin, the couple had met at a church program, but they attended different branches. The groom's family had said they would not be attending the wedding because they lived far away and had already come for pre-introduction.
The bride had been to the groom's house, but she had never slept over due to their Christian beliefs and practice of celibacy. However, the groom had claimed that he had never gotten over his first wife, whose photo was always on the wall.
The incident has left many people shocked and wondering how such a situation could occur. The 35-year-old bride is still recuperating in hospital after her failed marriage.
