What was supposed to be a day of joyful union between a couple (names withheld) and their family members over the weekend turned askew as the spiritual leader of a new generation miracle church in Benin City, Edo State declined to wed a couple following the refusal of the groom to pull his Italian designer shoes before entry into the church.
Worshippers, friends, family members and well-wishers who stormed the church were disappointed as the groom, who claimed to have bought his shoes for N50,000 was adamant as he shunned pleas from his bride and everyone else 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. Sadly, the miracles excitement did not prevail on the groom.
Meanwhile, as the drama and confusion raged on, guests and well-wishers who were seated under the canopies for reception at the same venue were lavishly entertained by hired caterers.
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.
A senior pastor in the church who begged anonymousity said:
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.
