What was planned as a
day of joyful union between a couple (names withheld) weekend turned awry as
the spiritual leader of a fast growing miracle church in Benin City, Edo State
capital declined to wed a couple following the refusal of the groom to pull his
Italian designer shoes before entry into the church.
Worshipers,
friends, family members and well-wishers who stormed the church were
disappointed as the groom, who claimed he bought his shoes for N50,000, was
adamant as he shunned pleas from his bride to comply with the rules of the
church.
According
to a source in the know, the church is reputed for miracles which have led to
the influx of new converts from residents in the vicinity. It was learnt that
the groom’s who was expected to prevail on the groom shunned all effort to
ensure that the wedding took place.
Meanwhile,
as the drama raged, guests and well-wishers who were seated under the canopies
for reception at the same venue were lavishly entertained by hired caterers as
the confusion between the church’s overseer and the couple.
The
beautiful bride who refused to be consoled over the incident wept profusely
before church members, and the groom soon followed as tears freely ran down his
cheeks.
A
senior pastor in the church who does not want his name in print said: “It is
quite unfortunate that the groom is adamant.
“We
expected that the bride who is our member must have educated him enough.

Politicians, business moguls who often visit comply with our ways of worship and I must say that what we do here is divine and biblical.
