A Nigerian groom was captured watching a football match during his traditional wedding ceremony, completely ignoring his bride and the activities around him.
In a video shared online, the groom is seen sitting calmly with his eyes fixed on his phone screen while guests and his bride engage in the ongoing celebration.
His unbothered expression and total focus on the match left many stunned, especially given the significance of the occasion.
Instead of being upset about the groom’s behavior, the bride maintained her composure on their couple’s seat and smiled as she observed the activities in front of them.
The caption of the video mentioned that the man was a true football fan and that his favorite player was on the pitch. He had to watch the match on the occasion to avoid missing it.
Social media users have reacted with a blend of amusement and criticism. While some joked that he was a “true football fan,” others called his behavior disrespectful and insensitive to his bride and their families on such a special day.
