Drama as Abia couple whose wedding was cancelled over pregnancy weds in another church

Friends and family of the man whose church in Aba, Abia State, cancelled his wedding have commended his bravery for marrying in a different church.

A few hours before the wedding, the church found out that the woman-to-be was pregnant. As a result, the guy, Mr. Israel Kennedy, and his bride, former Miss Rose, were scheduled to get married in an Assemblies of God church located at 158 Ikot Ekpene road in Aba.

This forced the church’s board to call off the wedding in line with the church’s founding regulations, which strictly prohibit getting pregnant before being married.

The church also suspended and fined Israel Kennedy and his lover for breaking church rules

The cancellation left the couple and their guests disappointed as they had already spent a huge amount of money to prepare for the wedding and reception.

But supported by his friends, family members and his in-laws, Mr Kennedy and his wife got a new church in the Enyimba city where they were joined together as husband and wife.

The new church (name withheld) agreed to wed the man and his wife based on its own constitution.

The church weds such couples once the traditional marriage rites have been completely performed.

According to a friend of the couple, Uche Simeon, “the man and his wife are now happy that they have become husband and wife.

“The embarrassment of last Sunday has been wiped away and they are not even bothered about any more sanctions from their original church.”
