A couple was dismayed when no guests showed up for their wedding.
According to the Daily Mail, the couple spent more than $27,000 (almost N43 million) on their wedding and received confirmations from 88 guests.
One of the pair, @grayanxiety, tweeted a TikTok video of the empty wedding location, which was filled with tables for guests that never arrived.
“88 people said yes… not even 40 showed up,” the video’s description stated.
As of this report, the video has received over five million views. While the couple’s circumstance is terrible, another bride manufactured a similar scenario.
In a recent interview, Ogbe Anne Charles, the CEO of Roli’s Cake & Confectionery, described the issue as extremely difficult.
“I think the groom or the couple must have done something wrong for people not to have attended their wedding. This is a very very complicated situation,” Anne said.
