The leadership of the Assemblies of God Church, Okpu 2, Aba, Abia State, has cancelled a wedding after the bride-to-be refused to sleep at the church’s parsonage. It was gathered that her decision was contrary to the church’s marriage policy.
It is mandatory for the bride to spend the night before the wedding at the residence of the host pastor, according to the church tradition. This arrangement allows the church to conduct a blood pregnancy test a few hours before the wedding ceremony.
It was gathered that the bride’s refusal to comply with the policy reportedly led the church to call off the wedding, even after guests had already gathered for the event, a development which left the couple, and their guests stranded.
