Reason why ‘runaway bride’ jilted her groom at a wedding

Over last weekend, a story was reported of how a young bride abandoned her 41-year-old groom, Julius, at their wedding reception in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State .

All pleas by the bewildered husband at the popular Orhunwhorhun Road for the woman to reconsider her decision were to no avail.

Her close friend who was one of the bridesmaids has told Vanguard that she saw her true love at the reception venue and decided to follow her heartthrob.

The would-be bride, Roseline, 32, has since disappeared into thin air and all efforts to trace her whereabouts had yielded no result at press time.

It was a pandemonium as the wife ran out of the wedding reception and rejected her husband, saying “I am no longer interested,” forcing the wedding reception to end abruptly.

A close female confidante of the woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Vanguard: “I believe she did what she did because she saw the previous man in her life at the reception. We heard that he had earlier promised to marry the bride, but he later travelled to Lagos and never showed up again.
