itsnrman stated: “Apparently the caterer realized the bride was getting married to her ex, so she sabotaged the whole ceremony.”
lifeinsolace said: “I miss the days when mothers used to gather to cook in the compound of the celebrant. There used to be a lot of food. It was cheaper and fun. Men were coupling the canopies and arranging the seats; making sure everything was set.”
olumax3028 noted: “Na women spoil am. They should deal with their problem. If I’m the father of the celebrant, I’ll just whisper to a few of my close friend and take them to one beer parlor. Order food and cold drinks for them. Let the women do what they like with their caterer.”
