A traditional wedding ceremony of a Nigerian couple took an unforeseen turn when a heavy downpour interrupted the event, resulting in a day filled with mixed emotions.
The occurrence, which was documented in a now-popular TikTok video by user @thevillagefamily2024, has elicited various reactions on social media.
According to the TikTok user, the rain commenced just as the ceremony was set to begin, compelling guests to vacate the venue.
“Rain started falling when the traditional marriage was about to start all the guest left, it was an emotional day for the bride,” she captioned the video.
The footage depicted a flooded wedding venue with several decorations either scattered or soaked.
The user further noted that the rain continued throughout the ceremony, leaving the bride devastated as her special day unfolded in an unanticipated manner.
While many expressed sympathy for the couple, others interpreted the rain as a sign of blessing, as many Nigerians traditionally believe that rain on a wedding day signifies prosperity and good luck.
