A man has sparked conversations online after revealing why he chose not to attend the wedding of a close friend despite months of involvement in the preparations.
According to the man, he had been actively supporting the groom ahead of the ceremony and was originally selected as one of the groomsmen.
He explained that he spent ₦80,000 to sew a suit specifically for the occasion because of the close friendship they shared.
However, events took an unexpected turn shortly before the wedding.
Months of preparation
While recounting his experience, the man said he played a significant role in helping the groom organise the event.
“We had been planning the wedding together for months. I followed him around the market to buy things, helped him book the MC and the DJ, and assisted with several other preparations.”
He noted that he was fully committed to ensuring the wedding plans went smoothly and had no reason to expect any changes to his role.
Last-minute change
“Then, a day before the wedding, he called me and said I shouldn’t be among the groomsmen anymore. Instead, he wanted me to help look after the drinks during the event. 80k on a suit simply because he was my good friend. And now he’s dropping me, probably because the other guys are richer.”
He added that he chose not to confront the groom over the matter.
The story has generated mixed reactions online, with many social media users debating friendship, loyalty and expectations surrounding wedding ceremonies.
Some sympathised with the man’s disappointment, while others argued that the groom had the right to make decisions regarding his wedding party.
