A bride named Ifunanya Igwebuike abandoned her groom, Ekene Uzoigwe, on the day of their wedding because he was a school dropout.
Our correspondent gathered from a PM news report that Ifunanya, a final year student of Federal Polytechnic, Oko in Anambra State failed to show up at her wedding venue, St Patrick Catholic Church, Umuchu in Aguata Local government of the state, because she cannot marry a man who is not a graduate.
She is reported to have kept guests waiting in the church but later sent a message to the Parish Priest, Rev. Father Lawrence Maduagwu, stating that she was no longer interested and asked him to cancel the wedding because she was a graduate while her husband-to-be was a school dropout.
There was chaos at the wedding, which was to take place Saturday, 3 January 2015 as guests who were shocked over the development started trooping out of the church.
Ekene, the jilted groom, said he was the one financing her education and they had agreed to get married during her final year. He added that she did not inform him about her decision to back out of the wedding, only for him to get to the church and be informed by the priest about the cancellation of the wedding.
“If she had informed me, I would not have made arrangements. We had already cooked food and bought drinks for the wedding,” the distraught groom said.
Ekene said he had no quarrel with his lover before the wedding day. He however said the girl's parents have promised to return the N160, 000 he gave them to prepare for the wedding.
