A final student of Federal Polytechnic, Oko in
Anambra State, southeast
Nigeria, did the unthinkable when she snubbed her
groom on her
wedding day and called off the wedding already
arranged by the two
families.
The wedding was to take place on Saturday, 3
January, 2015 and guests
invited to witness the ceremony at St Patrick
Catholic Church, Umuchu
in Aguata Local government, Anambra State, were
shocked when
Ifunanya Igwebuike refused to show up to tie the
knot with Ekene
Uzoigwe.


After several hours of waiting, she later sent a
message to the Parish
Priest, Rev. Father Lawrence Maduagwu, that she
was no longer
interested and asked him to cancel the wedding.
Ifunanya alleged that she could not go ahead with
the marriage because
she was a graduate unlike Uzoigwe whom she
claimed was a school
drop-out.
Rev. Maduagwu had no option than to inform the
groom and the guests
that were already seated at the church hall that the
wedding had been
cancelled.
This caused an uproar in the church as guests who
expressed shock
over what happened started trooping out of the
church.
Narrating what happened, Uzoigwe said he
proposed to Ifunanya for
marriage and she agreed on condition that he would
send her to school,
which he agreed.


He said after she gained admission, he was
financing her education and
they agreed to wed during her final year.
He said he had paid her bride price and she was
part of the whole
wedding plan and he even gave her parents
N160,000 to prepare for the
wedding, besides other arrangements and expenses
incurred on the
wedding and reception.
Uzoigwe said she did not inform him about her
decision to back out of
the wedding until he got to the church only for the
priest to inform him
and the guests 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,” he said.
He said when he contacted her parents, they said
they would not force
her and asked him to come and take back the
money he gave them to
prepare for the wedding.
Uzoigwe said he was still shocked about what
happened because he did
not quarrel with Ifunanya before the fateful day.
He said he also made sure she was comfortable by
making money
available to her while in school.
Uzoigwe is a business man based in Abakiliki, the
Ebonyi State capital.
He met Ifunanya at their home town, Umuchu, where
he proposed and
sent her to school.
