A Nigerian church wedding has gone viral after the bride reportedly dozed off during the ceremony, while the groom was seen repeatedly yawning at the altar.
The incident, which occurred during a lengthy church service, drew attention from guests as the couple struggled to stay awake during key moments of the programme.
Eyewitnesses said the bride appeared visibly exhausted and briefly slept off while seated beside her groom, who also showed signs of fatigue.
“The bride appeared extremely tired and briefly dozed off while seated beside her groom,” a guest recounted.
Another attendee noted the groom’s condition, saying he was “yawning several times and shifting uncomfortably during the proceedings.”
According to guests, the situation was largely due to the extended duration of the service, which reportedly went on longer than expected with multiple rituals and delays.
“The service had stretched longer than expected,” one eyewitness shared, adding that the prolonged schedule contributed to the couple’s exhaustion.
Despite efforts by family members and church officials to keep the ceremony on track, the atmosphere became tense as the fatigue became more noticeable.
Observers say such incidents are not uncommon in elaborate Nigerian church weddings, where ceremonies can last several hours, especially when they begin early without adequate breaks.
The wedding was eventually concluded successfully, but clips from the moment have since surfaced online, sparking mixed reactions ranging from humour to concern.
