    3. This is almost d same thing that Happened to one of my Bride's. Her mom died a day to her wedding. But they went ahead with d event. Bt der was nor music. I can only speak for myself. I will cancel d wedding cos I won't be able to smile. I'd be heart broken. Will cry all through. In most cases it's a sign d@ d wedding isn't supposed to happen. Wen u tink of it. Play d series of events d@ took place b4 d day.

  9. NO WEDDING!!!LAST RESPECT SHOULD BE OBSERVED FOR MARRIAGE IS A GOOD THING AND HENCE BE POSTPONED

    ReplyDelete
  10. God forbid it ever happens to anybody! But lindada situations like this, you never really know till it happens and depending on the circumstances involved. Its highly unlikely that you postpone the wedding because everything is set and your money go waste

    ReplyDelete
  11. Linda give ur answer first!!!!!
    My mother will attend my wedding...with my dad. no Ifs or maybe...by God's grace!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. It shud be canceled...d person's mother's death will bring sadness to an occassion where ppu re supposed to be api nd rejoicing

    ReplyDelete
  13. Well thank God, I don marry and she no die.but its painful and it shouldn't be canceled..Chai

    ReplyDelete
  14. God forbid shia but if it's me,I wouldn't go ahead wit it. am gonna cancel it but you will be seriously heart broken and common we re talking about someone's mother here and not jst a frnd so one can't go ahead wit it

  18. I'll postpone to show some respect and mourn

    ReplyDelete
  19. Cancel sharp sharp, the wedding can come up at a later date.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Linda,you're bored abi?? What a question! Too sensitive for a boredom-killer!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I will go ahead and marry. My marrying on that day, doesn't mean I love my mother any less. MAKTOOB: It's already written.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thank God u said God forbid. Anyway, the wedding has to be postponed! I won't be in the right frame of mind and may probably cry all through the ceremony.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I will surely proceed with the wedding ceremony because stopping the wedding will not bring her back alive rather it will cause sadness, confusion to the guests.. and it will be double sadness for me ...

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'll cancel it ASAP!!! Why? To @ least mourn her. I can always do d wedding anoda saturday!

    ReplyDelete
  25. The wedding will have to be postponed bcos the atmosphere will be filled with sadness

    ReplyDelete
  26. My mum is late, As for me I will continue with the wedding because that is my future, my mum has fulfilled her destiny though it is hard to accept.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think it depends on the state of her health on the day she dies. If she's been ill prior to the wedding day and she dies on that day, then the wedding should continue. She would have wanted it to hold. If it's the sudden death of a healthy mother, the shock will be too much and cancelling it is understandable.

    However, there are so many factors to take into consideration before cancelling it suddenly. Tough one.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Linda it's okay ooo...you think she knew her mum was dead and still got married of course she had no idea because the family kept it from her.
    Stop going on and on esp now we have a victim tot you were smarter than this

    ReplyDelete
  29. I will go ahead and be done with the wedding so that i can properly mourn her. But if she is sick or in an accident the morning of my wedding, i will cancel. Bcos in the first instance she is gone forever and cannot attend the wedding even if i cancel and fix another date. In the 2nd instance,she has a chance to recover and would love to attend when she does. That is my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  30. WELL,I WOULD CANCEL THE WEEDING..BECAUSE HOW ARE I GOING TO BLEND THE SORROW OF LOSING A MOTHER AND D JOY OF GETTING MARRIED,IT DON'T MAKE SENCE...I WOULD WAIT TILL AFTER THE BURIEL B4 I CONTINUE WITH THE WEEDING...

  42. Hell No, Your wedding Day is your happy day and u lost ur mom on your big day and still wanna go ahead with what can wait and be postponed, that's pure insanity!

    ReplyDelete
  43. This question is quite confusing. But for me, d wedding will still push through cos that's probably what she will want though it won't be easy. What wil be affected I think, is d reception. Have a frnd dat got wedded last month, on d day of her wedding d mother collapsed & was rushed to d hospital. She urged her son to go ahead so as to meet up wit church cos according to her, that's d exact plan of d enemies. She later died during d reception.

  44. I would be too devastated to go ahead with the wedding

    ReplyDelete
  45. it's unimaginable though. but d truth is i will go on with d wedding, mama has gone to rest. moreover, life is for d living nd most importantly, stopping d wedding will amount to great loss becos a lot of prep has already been made.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I will definatelly not cancel the weeding put prosponed it to the next month or whatsoeve put dat particular day the weeding will not hold..cos I will not even have that nerve wen the pastor say u may kiss ur bride of what use having a weeding with a sad mind and weak soul..

  47. Respect the dead. Cancel! Treat your mother inlaw same way u'd treat your mum

    ReplyDelete
  48. I will bcos according to Islamic rite she should be buried before 2pm. Just saying my opinion,it will never happen

    ReplyDelete
  49. Ofcourse the wedding will still go on,but on a low key.
    Because even without the wedding, she won't be buried on that day.

  57. Definitely cancel it, can't be happy and mourn same time

    ReplyDelete
  58. My mum can't die on my wedding day. So no comment on that

    ReplyDelete
  59. Wow that's a serious issue but I tink the best thing is to call of the wedding cos nobody will even be in their right state of mind if you decide to go ahead with the wedding. And more so weddings are suppose to be a day of joy and of sadness so the best thing is to call it off if u don't want to look @ your wedding pictures in years to come and see photos of sad faces

    ReplyDelete
  60. I'll definitely cancel it, cos she is my mother and my heart, body and soul would be shattered and i'll be disorganized.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I wouldn't cuz I would have to mourn her,my mum is my everything.Nd besides I wouldn't want my wedding anniversary nd my mum's remembrance to fall on the same day

    ReplyDelete
  62. I will cancelled the wedding

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hmm...Not a good thing to imagine. Its two ways though. If you continue your wedding wont be termed 'happiest day' because of the memories attached to it. If you cancel, you have a lot to lose because everything has been put in place. A lot of people to call to cancel. Well, up to whoever it happens to.

    ReplyDelete

  64. Sad though, I'll go ahead with the wedding.
    She has finished her lovely life and I must begin mine

    ReplyDelete
  65. God forbid...not my sweetest mom...but i won't go on with it. Never!

  67. I know lots of people will kick against this, Bt d best is , to jst manage to go thru wit d marriage rites. Its better Dan postponing it which will do no good to neither of them. Its only d reception dat will be affected.my honest opinion. Pls pple, dnt come for my head o.

  68. I think it will be beta if d wedding is slated for d next day or d following week or month bcoz ur wedding day is meant to be a day when u will be 100% happy. There's no way ur happiness will be at its best when u av d death of ur mother at d back of ur mind. Its beta u let dat day go.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Nothing to discuss here except you are an omo ale (a bastard) that you would continue the wedding

    ReplyDelete
  70. Aha!

    Impossibility...

    Till further notice d wedding wil b postpone.

    Of course to respect her. If d wedding goes on, dat means there is no regard for her@all.

    Except if I hate her dat is when I wil proceed wit d wedding.

    Wedding wil come and go but dis last respect for her is once in a life dat dat d opportunity wil not rare it head again.

  93. I think I would go ahead with the wedding considering all the preparations put in place. And after the wedding, we the conclude on the burial. Thanks

  94. 1st everytin ve b put in2 place b4 d ugly situation took place al we ve 2 do is just go ahead wth it den after which tink of hw 2 go about d dead.

    ReplyDelete
  95. For why?! It is just not reasonable to go ahead, it will not only ruin the atmosphere but it will forever taint what is supposed to be a remarkable day. What are going to do, pretend your ma didn't die, then go to church and dance and make merry. Then the next day start crying? It will be best to shift the wedding by a month sef!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Is really painful but not her fault that she lost her mum..... Definitely go on with my wedding.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Its complicated but as for me the wedding will be shelved.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I don't discuss this kind of rubbish

    ReplyDelete
  99. I believe the wedding should be postponed in honor of the dead mother, give yourself a little time to mourn her then have your wedding on a low key. It wont be good to share your wedding anniversary with your mother's remembrance day.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Definitely, the wedding has to be cancelled.
    Linda, it's the MOTHER not just any woman.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Nope i wont.

    ReplyDelete
  106. i will cancel it immediately and postpone it (it can wait and let me grieve). She was suppose to be at my wedding in the first instance.

    How do you expect me to display happiness on that day when within me i will not be happy.

    My wedding day suppose to be "one" of my happiest day on earth and i will like to really "really" show how happy i am without any sadness.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Sure; i'll go ahead with the wedding with no key celebration. Because by going or not going ahead with the wedding will not bring her back but the event will be of mixed feelings of both happiness & sorrow!

  110. not even a topic for discussion.

  121. linda dis is a sensitive question. aduni bankole died in d morning of her daughters wedding. yes d wedding held cos d dota was not told mum had passed on. the mum was already known not to be able to attend as she was few days to d wedding hospitalized.

  122. Don't think I will have the mind to continue with d wedding for that day. It can always take palce in d nearest future but nothing can replace my beloved mum. Will be too broken to go through wedding process

  131. No I will not because deep down in me, I will be hurting really bad and wont be able to fake a smile. my wedding day should be the happiest day of my life, with cameras trying to capture my beautiful smiles. In a situation like this, I'm will look depressed the whole day, so moving the date will be quiet understandable by everyone.

  132. Really confuse over dis sef.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I will go ahead with the wedding because it has been put in place, the church, the officiating ministers, the food, the hall. Though the mood of the wedding will be sober. Secondly, not that i dont love my mother but am saying my mind, She has lived her life, got married and gave birth to me and my own life will have to continue. Besides, it was said, let the dead bury themselves.

  136. I won't cancel d wedding cuz that's what my mom would have wanted (to see me happy) though i won't be happy. Cancelling my wedding won't bring my mom back to life if it will, i'll definitely cancel. I just pray it never happens to me. Its easier said than done.

  137. This shouldn't even be a question to me. Of course you'll cancel it. It's your mother for Christ's sake. Well, I'll cancel it. Why? Cos she means a whole lot to me. I can wed another day. Need to grieve at least.

  152. Lets be realistic. Money has gone in. Likely to go ahead with it but may not go the extra mile of fun as the will to have fun and dance will really not be there.

    if she died in the hospital, they(the bride and groom) are usually not told til after the ceremony.

  169. for life sake, we have to respect the death person by posponding the marriage, we know really, she is not coming back, but her corpse needs to be taking care of and respected too.

  171. Linda, your question in my opinion came too soon as you just posted an article about this exact scenario happening to someone on Saturday. I understand this is your job however, I believe you are human and have feelings. If the bride were to read this and the comments how do you expect her to feel if most comments were to lean towards cancelling the wedding. If this happens to a bride and she chooses to go either way, she has her reasons and I don't think anyone needs to criticize her for choices made. There are other factors surrounding the situation of which people are not aware of. Put yourself in her shoes. This could happen to anyone. Either the mother or father. Posting this comment is your choice. Thanks
