A key wedding team member shared the shocking details with TUKO.co.ke, revealing the bride reached out to the priest just a day before the ceremony.
According to the member, the bride expressed doubts about taking the final step down the aisle.
"I woke up in the morning only to learn the wedding had been called off. Out of curiosity, I inquired why that was so," explained the member.
Why did the bride cancel the wedding?
"I was told the bride said she was not ready to get married," added the member.
After his conversation with Nelly, the priest initiated discussions with both sets of parents to navigate the delicate situation.
Eventually, an agreement was reached to postpone the wedding indefinitely.
The committee member shared,
"After that, now when the priest said the decision to call off the wedding could be communicated to the public."
Couple dated for six months
Speculation arose regarding Nelly's sudden change of heart, with some suggesting a past lover's return.
The committee member addressed these rumours, stating,
"The bride has an ex with whom they had dated for five years, and she had only dated the groom for six months."
Responding to claims that the groom's family actively sought an alternative bride to salvage the situation, the member dismissed the notion.
He clarified that the wedding was officially called off until further notice, pending Amos's decision on the future of their relationship.
Bride cancels wedding to wealthy suitor
In a related story, a TikTok user, @thatmelaninbaby, narrated her reason for calling off her wedding three months before the big day.
In a video posted on her account, the lady said she never thought she would be ending up with her fiancé months before their wedding.
"Imagine ending it with someone you thought would be your forever," she wrote.
She recounted how friends blamed her for leaving a "wealthy man" instead of enduring the pains of the relationship.
However, she explained that the emotional pain was too much to bear, causing her to stop focusing on her brand and almost shut it down.
