A video showing the moment a Nigerian groom was escorted out of his wedding ceremony has gone viral, sparking widespread attention on social media.
The officiating priest appeared displeased, stating that the groom’s beard was too excessive and inappropriate for the occasion. The priest requested that the groom leave to shave his beard before being allowed to return and continue with the ceremony.
He captioned the clip, “I was sent out of church because of my beard on my wedding day. The moment i was sent out church because of my beards. The pastor said he won’t wed us if i don’t shave my beards”.
In the video, he was seen sitting inside a car with another man, presumed to be his best man as they rocked the same matching outfits.
Although the location of the church wasn’t disclosed, the man is seen by the roadside, having a barber trim his beard so he could return to his wedding and wed his beloved wife.
The video triggered buzz online as social media users shared their thoughts via comment section. Some reactions are shown below:
