Adaora's eagerly anticipated traditional wedding ceremony finally took place.
The ceremony was a magnet for dignitaries and high-profile individuals, whose presence lent a grandeur to the festivities.
As the event proceeded without a hitch, an unexpected twist occurred.
A close friend of Adaora's imminent husband pulled him aside to caution, "I suggest you refrain from drinking the palm wine. I'm wary of some Redcap Chiefs possibly poisoning your drink. Just discreetly dispose of it and act as though you've consumed it."
Unaware of the consequences, the groom-to-be heeded his friend's ill advice.
In a revered tradition, Adaora's father blessed the palm wine and presented it to Adaora, signaling her to reveal her chosen spouse to all in attendance.
The joyous atmosphere was palpable as Adaora, escorted by the Ashebi, danced gracefully around, seeking her groom. Upon locating him and kneeling to offer the wine, he subtly spilled it onto the ground, transforming the festivity into chaos. Elders immediately recognized the gravity of his actions, exclaiming, "Abomination! Such an act is unprecedented in the history of the Umuazu Accent Kingdom."
Enraged by the breach of tradition, Adaora's father declared the marriage null and void. Adaora retreated in distress, while the groom's family expressed their profound disappointment in his actions.
The groom's friend, harboring secret affections for Adaora, felt a twisted satisfaction, having achieved his aim of sabotaging the marriage.
The gathered guests were engulfed in embarrassment by the turn of events.
Blame was squarely placed on the friend by the groom, who realized the calamity his advice had spawned.
The unfortunate collapse of Adaora's Traditional Marriage became a tale that resonated deeply within the community and beyond.
In a plea for forgiveness, the groom implored, "Please accept my apologies, my dear in-laws; it was an unintended mistake," although his pleas fell on deaf ears.
This incident inadvertently provided fodder for Adaora's detractors, who wasted no time reveling in and spreading the gossip.
