Bride Collapses At Wedding

The Church hall of the Effiakuma Christ the King Catholic church was well-decorated and filled to capacity in readiness for the grand wedding ceremony that would join two Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officers in holy matrimony.

All other arrangements for the reception and wedding party had been completed and everything seemed to be in an apple-pie order until a lady alighted at Effiakuma in the Western region from Tema desperately looking for her husband.

Peter Adjei, 41 of IRS, Tema and Mary Boapoma of IRS, Takoradi were meanwhile, in high spirits as they put finishing touches to their dressing to get blessed as man and wife at the church. The January 20 wedding was the talk of the town, when on that fateful day, Patricia Yankson came around looking for her husband whom, she said packed his belongings from his Tema home and took French leave.

Surprisingly, none of her husband’s relatives were around except an auntie who lives in Tarkwa. Having been hinted that her husband was going to wed another woman that day, Patricia did her best to locate the Christ the King Catholic Church.

Patricia told the “Spectator” that when she asked Peter Adjei in the presence of the Reverend father whether he knew her, Adjei said she was only a friend who once accompanied him to his father’s funeral.

“I was dump founded and it was only when I provided documents covering our customary marriage that the Reverend Father apologized for the embarrassment and refused to have anything to do with the marriage.”

That was where the bride collapsed in disappointment and shock.
