Lady refuses to host wedding at father’s house, tells him not to speak at event
A Nigerian lady has caused a stir online after refusing to host her wedding at her father‘s house, claiming he did nothing for her. She even told him not to speak at the event.
The story went viral after the lady shared the details in a post on the popular social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).
In the post, she revealed that her cousin insisted her wedding would not be held at her father’s house, as he had not contributed to her life.
Instead, she chose to hold the wedding at the home of her uncle, who had supported her through school.
She also told her father not to speak at the wedding, a move that sparked a lot of reactions.
Her statement read: “There’s nothing going on at YOUR wedding that you can’t stop. My cousin insisted that her wedding wouldn’t be held at her father’s house because he did nothing for her. She chose the uncle who helped her through school. Told her dad not to speak at the wedding. And nobody died.”
The post quickly gained attention, with many users flooding the comment section to share their thoughts on the matter.

@gdc4bb: “The way people make it seem as if the lady is too helpless to determine what happens at her own wedding without the whims of her family, I always wonder why she is an adult if she’s still bound to their will.”
@TemitayoDaniel8: “I mean I’ve heard people talk about extended families having a say in their wedding. I mean from where to where o.”
@madam_blunt: “Since my father is late, can I choose my maternal uncle who saw me through it all to walk me down the aisle.”
@IamOchefaustina: “Pleasing mommy and daddy will not allow a lot of people do or have what they want.”

@isiakponah: “Not every body have that advantage, the uncle and family backed her and the father didn’t resist since is his brother. Is easy to stand ur ground when someone has ur backing.”
