Nice 👍 one from the man, I support him
lol both the bride and groom are s+p1d.

The groom insisted he wants his sister to be in the bridal train,wetin consain you with girlie matters? You nor go face your grooms men and leave the bride to do her bridal train him she wants it

The bride too no apply wisdom, you for allow your sister inlaw I'm the bride train and then exclude her on all activities. By the time all the brides maids ignore her,don't engage her na she go dey blame herself why she insisted in being in the bridal train when she for just sit with her family or wear the family fabric and come with your friends.there are ways you deal with stubborn men. No be everything be gra gra.

He cancelled the marriage because he could not get his own sister into the woman's bridal train? 😏

Anyways, red flag na red flag! They both dodged a bullet there and should count themselves lucky. grin

Women, please stop marrying controlling men. Your worth to these types of men comes down to whether they can control you or not. And the end is never good as your beings are reduced to near nothing by all of that control. Go ask your mothers and grandmothers for details on that. sad
This is clearly someone who is still living with his parents and cannot see beyond his nose. Only a fool will marry a woman who is not friendly with his siblings. If your other half does not want your family members around them it's a huge sign that they don't love you at all but are only using you for material gain. I have this male friend who loves his wife's family better than even the wife. He is always buying her parents gifts at every little occasion and even made his wife a bigger sister to her own siblings. The truth is when you marry you cannot help but be involved with other members of that person's family.

➜exactly. If you as a man have an obsessive desire to control another human being. No need to marry just go and buy a pet dog or horse.i no even know who swear for naija men with their obsession to control as if thry know everything [b]but again if we see truth make we talk am the bride was very wrong.your groom say put his sister among your bridal train.wetin dey there. Everything is not an ego contest.you already know say them don swear for naija men to have ego even the ones wey no to get sense hav big egos bigger than their sense.hen you for let her join the bridal train and then she herself will feel sidelined and cannot relate because all the girls there are your own person and friend.by the time she feels ignored she go dey ask herself why she insisted to be on the bridal train. after all you don satisfy your grooms desire to be on the train.when them wan snap picture, exclude her,in activities where they are supposed to do girlie things exclude her even if she's wearing the same bridal dress.trust me na the girl go look stupid and she won't be able to complain without looking like an alaseju.if she complain her family will say shebi them don put you for bridal train why you still dey complain [/b]
Everything requires wisdom. No be everything you go dey use gra gra do. na the girl go look stupid and out of place
I will start with the last part of your submission before addressing the former. Wisdom isn't stewpidity. Standing one's ground as far as one's right is not gra gra. It is simply one standing one's ground on what rightly belongs to one. It's simple! undecided

As for your suggestion that the woman let the sister into her train just for the sake of keeping the peace, well, that is what your mothers and grandmothers also did. In the name of keeping the peace, they ended up elevating the egos of the other party above their very existence in this life. (So, that scenario you described, thinking it amounts to wisdom, rarely plays out in the good of the woman who starts by caving in to pressure.) If we were to chronicle the experiences of older generation women in books, you would find that the pages would instead document how these women, through their many acts of submission, carefully saw to it that they lost their very freedoms as individuals and human beings in the name of keeping the peace/maintaining marriage. Please, do not teach your daughters to live their lives as pushovers for the sake of keeping the peace or any of that other nonsense. undecided

No woman should submit to control of any kind. Rather than seek to placate people who want to deny you even the little freedoms you have in this life, it would be best to forgo marriage completely. undecided

I notice how many of you think it makes sense to add your private delusions in between the lines of what was posted in order to make it make sense to you. Life and common sense no dey work like that. undecided

The post did not state that the woman was not friendly to the man's siblings, nor does it say that the woman did not want his family members around her. Try to borrow a page from language comprehension next time before mentioning me. undecided

Women that love male validation rarely make good SILs and MILs. They are the type that want to join their SIL's bridesmaid and be her bestie.

This is beyond the ceremony. We are talking of character. Even if you do court the character would come out in a way inside the marriage
The guy is a sharp guy and he did the right thing. It was the brides Big day and he wanted his sister to be part of that day. By rejecting his sister his wife has sown the seeds of rejection. It's like having a piece of cake and you are asked to share the cake and you refuse to share it. Trust me women who cannot share are not worth marrying. One sister out of some 8 bridesmaids is not too many. If my babe offered her brother as my wedding groomsmen id be more than thrilled to have him. It shows she has a good relationship with her brother
Re: Man Cancels Wedding After His Fiancée Refused To Let His Sister Join Her Bridal by Mcslize: 7:51pm On Sep 06, 2025
It's good he ended it. For those who might be saying why did he end a wedding because of something as little as that?

You call that little right? The moment a lady is not in good term with your family or mother for no reason, even when they do nothing wrong to her, never make the mistake of marrying such a lady.

You will learn the hard way according to vdm and you shall cry a heavy loads of cry and say had I known is the last comment of a fool according to Geh Geh.

Young men of today, please, marry right. Don't let mere factuation cloud your logical reasoning as a man.

I'd understand... I have no reason to be going on a vacation with the people I'm not close to, I'll get bored.

My husband and I will arrange our own vacation together.
You ladies should be rational for once. As a woman, you need to be in good terms with all of your husband's family (siblings and parents). Love them naturally.

I cannot marry a lady that sees it as an issue associating with my immediate family; my own immediate family that I grew up with that have been there for me from day 1? Come on!

Such a woman is already a big disaster. The man will regret ever marrying her if he had proceeded with the marriage.

A controlling man is never a good man for a woman. Go ask your mothers and grandmothers for details on why that is always true. A controlling man ends up reducing the woman he is in a relationship with to a husk of a human. undecided

2. He paid for it; therefore, all of her efforts she put into making sure the ceremony he paid for turns out the best, is to be considered a useless effort? Many Nigerian women struggle with seriously low self-esteem, and that is why a whole load of them end up with men who reason like you do. Very sad situation indeed. undecided
If a wife to be so detests her would be husband's sister such that his intervention can't change it, it is best they don't marry. Whatever happened which we don't know, I agree with the man's decision to cancel the wedding. The woman should have been bold enough to cancel it if he insists his sister be one of her bridesmaid. Maybe this perspective will make the situation clear to you.
All men know their family members especially those they can die for and those they won't go all the way for. If he thinks the woman's refusal of his sister is worth canceling the wedding, it definitely is worth it. A good marriage is a union of two families. Wedding is just the event. If a wife to be can't accommodate her sister in law this early in a such a trivial issue, it shows she don't love his family. The cancelation is in order.

Imagine the bride telling her husband to put her brother among the groomsmen and he says no. Let’s not be bias please, the woman is wrong, this is too trivial and if you accept your husband as crown on your head, as your love and respects him it won’t be hard obeying this simple plea then after the wedding you both can sit down and iron it out when the sister is not there. But obviously the lady is hardhearted and doesn’t respect the husband; thank God the wedding was cancelled. Atleast someone that is spending 10m-20m naira for a wedding that you are not contributing a dime should have small say na, just small say and besides he is your husband. May they get the partners that suits them and for the sister of the guy she should leave her brother to marry in peace, she should have given up about bridal train stuff immediately she saw that the bride wasn’t happy with her inclusion. When your brother is married know that most decisions he will involve his wife before making them and you should not control him like you use to do when he was single. Thanks

As long as they don't normalize invading my personal space, then I'll love and associate with them, but only from a distance because I value my personal space and privacy more than anything... And as a woman, I know my gender, most of the time drama always follows them wherever they go.

If you're not ready to part ways with your family members to start your own nuclear family, then stay single or don't get married.

When two people in love decide to marry, they commit to embracing not only each other but also the families they come from. Loving someone means accepting and respecting their roots, including their family.

As a gesture of unity a husband-to-be may request that his sister be included as a bridesmaid. For the bride-to-be, accepting this request is a wise and meaningful step toward showing respect for her partner and embracing his family as her own. This act of inclusion shows harmony and demonstrates a commitment to building a shared future.

90% of times trust me you'd never see men having issues with this sort of things.

It's always the women...
For me, I will never marry someone who treats my family like outsiders. ALSO, I would never tolerate my family disrespecting my wife. Mutual respect is non-negotiable.
Re: Man Cancels Wedding After His Fiancée Refused To Let His Sister Join Her Bridal by Mcslize:
I ended a relationship cuz the lady disrespected me in the presence of my sister's in-law, and I never regretted it. It's one of the best decisions I made.

1. Such a lady lacks common sense and she can disgrace you in public.

Truth be told, the guy took the right decision else it would have been war between the wife and his sister in the future. Both sides should have also try to de-escalate the issue.

When it comes to traditional white weddings, aren't bridesmaids supposed to be from the bride's side?

Some people just like doing white weddings without understanding their rules and regulations, and why end your wedding plans over a Western wedding ceremony when he could've opted for an African traditional wedding instead? Imagine a British man who doesn't understand anything about African weddings cancelling his African wedding because he's having disputes with his British wife over the ceremony... grin grin grin

1. If being a man means curbing the freedoms of your woman, then you are not a man but a control-obsessed individual. Some women are like that, too. Narcissistic traits are not unique to men. undecided

2. Are you sheeting me right now? The woman was clearly uncomfortable with the boys clinging to her, but you lot said she should endure it for what purpose exactly? Why not get the boy professional mental therapy help instead? undecided

Obviously, what you described was not a one-time thing, and who knows what else the boy could have done to that girl in all of that time. Yuck! undecided

3. Do you know what a right means? If I have the right to say "No," but you reject my right or assert that my right is against you, it implies that what you want is control, the power to overrule my right. That is clearly a problem and a world she should do everything to avoid being dragged into! undecided

4. Her right to say, "No," should not be impacted by whether he allows such or not; that is one of the reasons why I removed that second question I had asked, since a lot of people did not see the obvious here. He cancelled the wedding because she would not allow his sister into her bridal train, clearly indicating he wanted control over her right. A controlling man would, of course, not simply allow such concessions if the situation were reversed. undecided

Is this the way of showing friendship? Getting drafted into the bridal train just few days to the wedding? If she had a good relationship with the bride, she could have asked nicely immediately the wedding preparations began, instead of scattering the relationship between the couple.
