Bride's mum cries as couple miss Sh986k wedding again
“I’m in so much pain,” she said through tears. “I don’t know where my child is or if she is okay.”
A heartbreaking scene unfolded recently in Tanzania when a bride’s mother broke down in tears after the bride and groom failed to show up for their own wedding, despite the family spending a staggering Sh986,000 on the event.
The wedding, which was set to be a grand celebration, had been fully planned and funded by the bride’s family.
According to Tuko, guests had gathered, food and drinks were ready, and decorations beautifully adorned the venue. However, as the hours passed, it became clear that the couple was not going to attend.
In an emotional video shared online, the bride’s mother could be seen sobbing uncontrollably as she expressed her devastation and frustration.
She revealed that this was the fourth time the couple had postponed or failed to show up for their wedding ceremony.
"I am tired. This is the fourth time this is happening," she cried. "We’ve spent almost a million shillings to make everything perfect, only for them not to show up again."
The incident has sparked a wide range of reactions on social media, with many sympathizing with the mother while questioning the couple’s commitment and communication.
The reasons behind the couple’s repeated no-shows remain unclear, but the emotional toll on their families, especially the bride’s mother, is evident.
As the story continues to circulate, Kenyans online are calling for accountability and urging couples to consider the emotional and financial costs involved in wedding planning, not just for themselves, but for everyone involved.
