It has been revealed that the runaway bride in Ondo state who failed to show up for her wedding ceremony dated her fiance for SEVEN YEARS before they decided to walk down the aisle.
A source in the groom’s family spoke to PUNCH Metro and revealed that the bride did not show any sign that she would do such a thing, saying the incident was a shock to both families.
He explained that Taiwo and Biodun had been dating for almost seven years without any disagreement between them, adding that they both finished from the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo.
The source said, “The incident is still a mystery to everybody because both families have been having a smooth relationship. She had never dated anybody apart from Abiodun. She is a very good girl and both families consented to their union. There was no disagreement from any party.
“She did not show any sign that she would cancel the wedding. We were all at the church, expecting her. Even her father did not believe what happened because I don’t think she told her parents of her plan to boycott the wedding.
“They did not quarrel; both of them still spoke on the telephone on the eve of the wedding day. She did not give him any sign. She has not switched on her phone; we don’t know where she is.”
Taiwo failed to show up for the church service on her wedding day, disappointing her husband to-be and many guests who attended the wedding.
Her parents and the family of the groom knew nothing about her whereabouts.
However, a resident of Christ Land area in Oka, Ondo, where the Taiwo’s parents live, on condition of anonymity disclosed that the ‘runaway’ bride had called her parents on a different telephone line, informing them of her whereabouts.
