WEDDING BELLS

For some reasons, the “ember” months are always filled with weddings and events. I have been to countless weddings this season. While some were well organized, others came with a little drama.

Here are some pics of me heading out to a friend’s wedding a month ago.

I wore an orange mono strap chiffon gown designed by CLAUDS.

Well, of all the weddings I attended, am going to talk about my two favorite. First up my cousin Isaac’s wedding.This wedding was real special to me because I got to see my family and relatives I hadn’t seen in years. Whenever there is a family wedding, all my relatives from far and wide come together, it’s always a big family re-union.  The weekend was filled with laughter and funny tales with each person having their own tale to tell. I was part of the bridal train and we wore blue mono strap satin gowns. It was a really beautiful wedding.

     
 Next is my friend’s wedding. I was also part of the bridal train and we wore gold satin sleeveless shift gowns with red heels. This wedding had a little drama at the beginning and almost did not hold. It started with us arriving in church, the guests were already seated, and we awaited the signal for the walking of the bride down the aisle. Suddenly the priest came up and announced that the wedding has been cancelled !!!!.  Jaw dropping right ?  We were all shocked and bemused. As to the reason why, apparently the groom has been married before, filed for a divorce, but his wife refused.  After years of fighting for a divorce in court to no avail, he decided to remarry anyways.  But on the wedding day, with information from an unknown source, the wife called the church and ordered for the marriage not to hold, insisting that she is still married to the man. She presented her wedding certificate and other documents as proof. With this information, being a church with high moral values and standard, the church decided to cancel the wedding. Finally after much confusions and arguments, another pastor was brought to conduct the wedding on the reception ground. Despite the initial drama it turned out to be a beautiful wedding. My only disappointment was that I couldn't catch the bouquet. 

Now my question is: in your own opinion, who was wrong?

·        The man for trying to re-marry without properly ending his first marriage?
  

·         The first wife for refusing to let the man go after years of fighting for a divorce?                                                                                                                                                                                          

·        The new bride for marrying a man whose divorce settlement has not been finalized?                                                                                                                                       

·        Or the church for ending the wedding in that manner.
