Lady who abandoned her fiancé at the altar in 2015, opens up about the reason behind her action

Bunmi has sparked a debate on twitter after opening up about why she abandoned her fiancé at the altar in November 2015, after all preparations had been made. According to her, she was pressurized by her family into accepting his marriage proposal and it all blew up in her face when she discovered she couldn't stop crying on her wedding day.

She said she was 30 years old and her family members pressured her into saying yes when he proposed. She liked the guy but not enough to marry him and asked her family to give her time but they refused.


Locking herself in the bathroom and eventually dividing the family as some supported her, while her own father was against it, Bunmi eventually informed her husband to be, through a phone call, that the marriage was cancelled while he was waiting for her at the altar. See more of her tweets and tell us what you think.

    1. I think at 30yrs above, u shod be able to stand ur ground. Buh if ur family is much stronger, having a heart to heart discussion with the man shod have been ur next plan abi u were not allowed to talk with him? The man wud hav been in d best position to stop d preparation and there is notin ur family wud hav done. Yes, it is better late dan never buh this is nig where money is a big deal. That guy n his family wud hav spent so much and even if d money wasn't an issue biko wit abt d embarrassment. So in conclusion, madam ur still to b blamed. Imagine this happening to ur son or brother, na u go curse d lady die. A at above 30, u still dey choose upandan. Since ur fam dint giv u time, u and d guy for elope and be wit urselves for a while to know weda it will work or not. Well gud luck to u and expect this in return. Period

    2. in my opinion,i would say u should av given it a chance since u waited till ur d wedding day..u might grow to love him with time considering ur age too but if it still dosent work,u can alwys divorce than just dosgracing him & urself infront of evryone...

  2. Bunmi! Take heart, be of good courage. Those who make it their problem, to cause you problems, because you refuse to be unhappy, those who want to force unhappiness on you, to prove their point, will receive the fruits of their labour.

    One thing they prove, is that your wellbeing never mattered to them in the first place. It takes time, but you will heal, and you will find peace and happiness, your conscience will be clear, because you did not live a lie, nor a life of deception.

    You are brave, and you are an inspiration.

  10. bunmi u did well. no one will be miserable with you. they will only tell u they know how u feel of which they don't. self sincerity is the best gift anyone could give him/herself and humanity. Being sincere with your self, you've done that guy a greater good than he can imagine. He might be hurt for a time being but the truth of your self sincerity will come around with him forgiving and understanding why u acted that way

  11. So why are you telling us now? You want to trend again abi? Werey! Why didn't you run to an unknown destination during the wedding arrangements or better still tell the man you don't love him. You had to wait till the wedding day before locking yourself in the Bathroom. The thunder that will fire you will definitely come with doctor's prescription : one in the morning, two in the night.

    1. Na lie, thunder won't fire her anytime, anywhere. Leave her alone jare. Babe found courage at the last minute. Sad, but fine. That's how society will be forcing people into lives of misery. I feel for the guy, but it's better to be jilted at the altar than to be saddled with a sad, disgruntled wife. Trust me, it would have been a marriage of mutual unhappiness. Before you know it, the wife will start nagging, the husband will start beating. Abeg you people should leave Bunni alone o. She did the right thing, even though at the wrong time. But it's better late than never.

    1. According to her story, she agreed due to family pressure. Now, nobody is talking about that - how family and society will be pushing young people into choices they will later regret. I feel for the guy o, but how come he wasn't perceptive enough to notice she was unhappy in the relationship? Is it possible he was just busy spending money on the girl's family? If you really love her, shouldn't you have cared about her happiness. Abeg let's stop villifying the poor babe jare. She's been through a lot already. May God heal and help both the guy and the lady.

    2. O-ice you've been commenting on everything here, seems you're the Bunmi person.
      Though she was correct in deciding not to go through with it, the timing is wicked. So she suddenly got all the confidence to refuse after all preparations and money had been spent? She embarrassed the unfortunate groom.
      And by the way, if it has reached the alter level means she has done traditional wedding and maybe registry, if that's the case she is already married to the man and her action was purely malicious and mean spirited.

    4. What she did was terrible. Yes! it's her life, but it's also someone else's too. I know pple will say better late than never, but it culd hv been a bit earlier. Not the D day. The time was wrong, even a day before, would hv been better. The courage she finally found that day, why didn't she find it earlier. No amount of pressure shd make you do this to another human being. She has traumatized that guy for life. He'll get over it, but it will leave a scar for life. She hurt someone in the most terrible way possible. That guy may need therapy to move on. She Humiliated, embarrassed, hurt his emotions and damaged his self esteem. It's selfishness to think, it's just about you, no it's not!!! Had she broken off 48hr b4 wedding day, she may hv had my sympathy.

  23. I feel sorry for u. At 30 people made u agree? Work on yourself gal. In the olden days ppl are arranged. We are just too sekfish. It is better to marry a man that adores u dn one u adore but is not reciprocal. I think you were selfish and self centred. Inability to love another human beign was your problem. God help u.

  25. Bunmi i really commend your courage to stand by words and ur feelings. Nobody could have understood u better in this situation. Only the few that has undergone such experience could tell. Your situation would have been worse if you'd acted otherwise. it's good to stay firm on what makes you happy now than going into a marriage that can render you sad for the rest of your life.

    2. Oga hrm Paul, a 30 year old lady is more likely to bow to family pressure than a 25 year old. There are two sides to this matter. One is from the perspective that the guy has been hurt, disgraced and embarrassed. Valid point, may God console, heal, and compensate him with someone even better. The second side is from a perspective that the lady was extremely unhappy to have made such an extreme decision. She would been more unhappy after the wedding and would have made that man very unhappy too. Or are we saying it would have been better if she had gone on with the wedding, then divorce the man few months later?

  34. I felt the same way on my own wedding day about 5 years ago. If not for my younger sister who kept encouraging me and pointing out the positive sides of my husband and why the cost to me and my husband, I would have absconded. I doubted if any man that hears this will want to marry me. It depicts an unstable mind. so I went ahead.

    But today, I am the luckiest woman alive to have married my husband. Michelle Obama isn't even close to being as lucky as I am. I just thank God that I said yes on that beautiful day.

    Unlike Bunmi, I considered the aftermath of absconding, the shame it would have brought to both families and the cost of putting up that wedding and my sister's encouragement to go ahead with it.

    Cold feet happens but rationality is important. Why come that far till the wedding day just to ruin it all?

    1. Maybe healing from that experience is more important to her than marrying for marrying sake. Don't you think she must have been hurt and broken by her decision also? You think she was very excited about what she did? In any case, if she was a marriage freak she would have married that guy anyway regardless of her feelings. So stop mocking her for still being single.

  47. This is Nigeria and I believe that most if not all Nigerian weddings come after traditional marriages. Some churches wldnt even wed u without getting a confirmation that a bride price had been paid so is it that Madam Bunmi and her ex just got up and decided to wed in church without having done the trad and if they actually did, her not going on with the wedding doesn't mean there was no marriage. Except what was done traditionally was nullified, those two are still legally married.

  54. I am surprised that some people are in support of what she did, saying that her happiness is more important and so on without considering the pain and trauma she has caused the man. This is wickedness in the highest degree, why did she wait until the wedding day? If she had the guts of have turned it down on the wedding day she ought to have had that same guts to have done it earlier. The life we live in today is all about sowing and reaping, if so, she will definitely reap what she has sown, that why it is always advisable to sow good seeds so that reaping will be pleasurable and not regrettable.

  57. So many people wish they had done this. And even if she doesn't get married till after 40, what's the big deal? Bunch of myopic people.

  58. U said u were 30 years of age as at that time, so u are matured enough to make ur own decision. why Waite untill the eleventh hour to brake the young man's heart since you know from beginning that u don't love him enough to be ur husband.

    1. People are talking about the hurt, embarrassment, humiliation the guy must have felt, you are here suggesting that the money spent on hall, cake, food and drinks, should have been more important than her happiness. Is that how you used to do?

  68. Madam, you are very wicked. Ladies/gentlemen, you don't wait till your bride or groom is in church before you call off your wedding! You do it months before!

  70. hateful comments can lead people to take their own lives. Don't be the reason someone took his or her life. If it doesn't edify, then shut it and face your own life.*Be wise*

  71. All of you saying she should have ended it before the wedding day, bla, bla. You don't know what pressure is. You weren't the ones in her shoes, very easy to through stones at her. Until u go through same or even worse situations you will then understand. Sit behind ur phone or keyboard and be talking rubbish.

  72. Its better.. I have an uncle who was hooker up to a lady... My uncle was complaining about some kind attitude the girl has but my family members told him to manage, dat they've fixed a date already... My uncle spent eh, came from USA to nigeria for d wedding, d girl said she wanted after wedding party, xo my uncle now said it cant hold. Dat he has spent alot already. After d wedding party,one of my wealthy uncle den decided to host a after party for d couples and other family members,at that same hotel that everybody lodged that night, everybody was outside, but d new bride was angry... My uncle went to call her, dat d whole family is outside, dat she should join the party. She refused oo.. Saying the party wasnt for her, and she is tired. Another person went and called her, she said de same.. Up to 5 different pipo went to call her and she said the same. Dix new bride never joined us and we partied from 8pm to 3am.... In the morning, my uncle told her the marriage is over. Dat she should pls give him his ring, or keep it if she wants.. She thought my uncle was joking. My uncle leta went back to USA and that was the end of d marriage.

  73. The truth is who again allow their son, uncle,nephew, cousin,brother to engage this lady again going by what she earlier did to that poor guy.

  74. Right decision made at the wrong time, for a good course I believe cos the marriage might have collapsed or won't be enjoyed.

  75. SINCE YOU WAITED TILL THAT LAST MINUTE, I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WISE FOR YOU TO ENTER THE MARRIAGE AND GIVE LOVE (AND HAPPINESS) A TRY, HE NEVER HIT U NOR TREATS YOU BAD (GOT A GOOD JOB TOO), AS YOU SAID. AND YES, LOOK AT YOUR AGE AND U HAD THE GUT TO DITCH UR FIANCE ON THE ALTAR FOR GOODNESS SAKE! THIS IS NOT HOLLYWOOD NOR NOLLYWOOD, EVEN NOLLYWOOD WON'T ACT THIS KIND MOVIE COS NIGERIANS DONT BEHAVE LIKE THIS, ITS VERY RARE. YOU DISGRACED YOUR FAMILY AND FIANCE'S EVEN ALL THE WELL WISHERS. LADY, YOU HAVE GUTS! I HOPE BY NOW (AFTER 1YR,6MTHS), THAT YOU ARE HAPPY TO BE FREE AND MOVED ON.

    KINDLY ACCEPT YOUR FAULT AND PRAY HARDER TO GOD TO SEE YOU THROUGH IN LIFE AND I CAN ONLY WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN THE FUTURE, EXPECIALLY COMING ACROSS WHO "YOU WILL LIKE THAT MUCH" BEFORE CHOOSING A DATE OF MARRIAGE.

    ONLY WHEN YOU TRULY REALIZED ALL THAT YOUR ACTION REALLY BROUGHT TO YOU AND YOUR FINANCE, AND ACCEPT TO MAKE CORRECTIONS, THEN CAN YOU TRULY BE FREE. ACT NOW!!!

  76. ....I can relate with bunmi. A frnd of mine had same problem. She went on with d plans n all...hoping dt d feeling will eventually come cos she liked him tho not enuf to marry him....fast-forward to 3months later...it's one week to d wedding...and she realized she couldn't go tru with it. Her pastor and marriage counselor convinced her to stay, her family will not even hear of it,d guy was well aware she was having cold feet towards d wedding but he kept encouraging her not to give up on him...fast-forward to wedding day...I remember vividly dat she was weeping in d toilet n didn't want to go on but everyone around her cursed n terrorized her until she walked down dat Isle n got married. One year later she became a divorcee. D man beats her almost everyday. Every opportunity he has, he beats d living daylight out of her. She finally left wen he beat her to miscarriage.
    Now all dos who cursed her n literally encouraged her to proceed with d wedding wishes deh let her walk away dat Faithfull day.
    Thanks to d society we live in dat has a way of making ppl do wat is expected....my frnd is now a divorcee at 28.
