Shortly after their exchange of vows and before signing their marriage certificate at the Ikoyi Registry on Saturday Nov 17th, a man and his bride were asked to kiss and hug to formalize the union which is a norm and shouldn’t be a problem.
Well, that is because they haven’t met this woman who completely refused to kiss her husband saying hugging and kissing in public is forbidden in her church.
The woman, believed to be a member of Jehovah’s Witness, was adamant as court officials tried to explain the importance of the kiss. Her refusal to kiss her husband delayed the ceremony for close to 20mins as the court registrars also refused to go further with the ceremony
