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.
According to church tradition, it is mandatory for the bride to spend the night before the wedding at the residence of the host pastor.
This arrangement allows the church to conduct a blood pregnancy test a few hours before the wedding ceremony.
Popular blogger, Promise Uzoma Okoro reported that the bride’s refusal to comply with the policy led the church to call off the wedding, even after guests had already gathered for the event.
The development left the couple and their guests stranded.
