Bride reacts after pastors left her wedding
The bride, identified as @missteecal0 on TikTok, recounted the events leading up to the pastors' dramatic exit.
According to her, the pastors had initially taken issue with the groom's cornrows, deeming them unacceptable for the wedding ceremony.
A compromise was reached, with the groom agreeing to style his hair in a jheri curl.
However, when the big day arrived, the groom's hair proved too long to style as agreed, prompting a last-minute solution of two cornrows.
The pastors, however, were unimpressed by the groom's new hairstyle and refused to proceed with the ceremony.
Despite pleas from the wedding planner and other guests, the pastors stood firm, ultimately abandoning the ceremony.
The incident left the bride and her family shocked and disappointed, with many taking to social media to express their outrage and disbelief at the pastors' actions.
In the bride's words
"They told my husband that it's not allowed to have cornrows on his head. So we eventually agreed to do something like a jheri curl on the hair. However, we discovered a day to the wedding that his hair was too long and it wasn't possible.
"On the day of the wedding, we loosened the hair to reveal the jheri curl but it didn't even form anything. So I asked my stylist to leave my hair and go and make his own hair. That was the fastest thing we can do. He made two cornrows and I called my dad to tell him what happened. My dad said okay, fine.
"We went for the joining. We did the registry part like you already saw. Time for church, I started wondering why haven't we started the ceremony? I was in the car and I saw my mum throwing hands and talking to my husband. My younger brother was just going from one place to another.
"He then came to tell me that the pasrors are refusing to go ahead with the ceremony cause the groom has two cornrows on his head. My event planner was begging, everyone was begging them. Eventually, my brother came to tell me that the pastors already left."
