Pastor Aborts Wedding over Husband’s Refusal to Remove His Expensive Shoes

Omo see gobe! How can a guy allow his designer shoes obstruct his joy on his wedding day? Na wao!

What was planned as a day of joyful union between a couple turned awry last weekend as the Pastor of a fast growing miracle church in Benin City, Edo State capital, refused to wed a couple following the refusal of the groom to pull his Italian designer shoes before entry into the church.

Worshipers, friends, family members and well-wishers who stormed the church were disappointed as the groom, who claimed he bought his designer shoes for N50,000, was adamant as he shunned pleas from his bride to comply with the rules of the church...


According to a source in the know, the church is reputed for miracles which have led to the influx of new converts from residents in the vicinity. It was learnt that the groom’s family who was expected to prevail on the groom shunned all effort to ensure that the wedding took place.

Meanwhile, as the drama raged, guests and well-wishers who were seated under the canopies for reception at the same venue were lavishly entertained by hired caterers as the confusion between the spiritual leader (Pastor) and the couple went on in church.

The beautiful bride who refused to be consoled over the incident wept profusely before church members, and the groom soon followed as tears freely ran down his cheeks.

Here's what a senior pastor in the church said about the aborted marriage: 

“It is quite unfortunate that the groom is adamant. We expected that the bride who is our member must have educated him enough. It is not new among our members. Politicians, business moguls who often visit comply with our ways of worship and I must say that what we do here is divine and biblical.”
