A Ghanaian bride known as Bekee, who trended after her wedding was called off by a pastor due to her father’s absence, has shared an emotional update.

She disclosed that the pastor eventually agreed to officiate the ceremony, but it was already late, and most guests had left.

In a follow-up video shared on TikTok, Bekee expressed how heartbroken she felt when the pastor initially refused to go ahead with the ceremony. She had earlier disclosed that the reason was that her biological father was absent from the church.

Bride's wedding incident draws controversy

YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that the bride, Bekee, had informed the church and presented proof that all traditional rites had been performed, with witnesses and documentation in place. However, a representative had also stood in for her father on the day.

The officiating pastor, upon realising the absence of the father, declined to continue unless the bride’s father was there in person.

Ceremony eventually held, but too late

In her latest update, Bekee disclosed that the pastor later changed his stance and went ahead with the wedding ceremony.

“By the time they finally agreed to hold the wedding, it was already night. Around 60% of the guests had gone home,” she explained.

Despite the late hour, the ceremony went ahead and was followed by a brief reception that lasted about 30 minutes to an hour.

She thanked those who stayed back and supported her through the chaos, especially her bridesmaids, who were seen weeping and pleading with the church earlier in the trending video.
