Confusion as bride fails to show up at wedding in Ondo

Akure— THE mother of a bride reportedly slumped when
her daughter, Taiwo Orimoloye, failed to show up for her
wedding, weekend, in Ondo town, Ondo State.
The bride’s mother, who slumped immediately her
daughter’s whereabouts became unknown, was
immediately rushed to Ondo State Specialist Hospital,
Ondo, for medical attention.
Vanguard gathered that the groom, Abiodun Isaac, and
other guests waited endlessly at the church for the
ceremony, which was later put off.
The officiating ministers reportedly had to call off the
wedding after waiting for over two hours for the bride to
show up. Both families were worried as all calls put
across to her mobile line failed to connect.
Even calls to the telephone line of her chief bridesmaid
failed to connect.
Reports had it that the marriage rites started December
last year at the residence of the bride’s parents.
What would have warranted the bride’s action last
Saturday, four months after the introduction, was still
unknown at press time. A family source said that family
members had no inkling that the marriage would be
stalled as all arrangements were made for the
ceremony.
The source said: “All was well with the groom and the
bride until Saturday morning when Taiwo failed to turn up
for the occasion and since then she has remained
incommunicado.”
Police image-maker, Femi Joseph, said the matter has
not been reported to the command, but efforts to speak
with either family proved abortive.
