Shocking as bride slumps after groom says no to wedding vows in Plateau State

A very shocking drama on Saturday after one Mr Rufus Aplang, left guests and worshipers in shock when he walked out of church during his wedding and abandoned his supposed bride, Judith, in Plateau State.
Aplang fled the God’s Glory Ministry, Jos, venue of the wedding, when it was time to take the wedding vow on Saturday.

According to NAN, his action threw family members, friends, colleagues and associates into wild confusion.
Aplang, was quoted allegedly to have said before walking out of the Church that he had planned 10 years ago to disgrace his supposed bride on their wedding day.

An eyewitness, Miss Julian Dogo, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Jos, that the fleeing groom gave shocking answers to the pastor while he was taking his marital vows.

“Aplang was asked on the altar by the pastor, do you take Judith as your wife for batter for worse? Then he replied with a No.

“The pastor put the same question to him, and he replied, ‘Pastor, I heard you clearly, and understand English very well and my answer is still No’

“Then the pastor said to him, but you are well dressed and came ready for this wedding, and he replied, ‘sorry, I made up my mind 10 years ago to disgrace her on our wedding day’

“As soon as he said that, he walked out of the church, and was followed by his best man and his friends who drove out of the church premises,”Dogo told NAN

However Judith, the supposed bride, collapsed inside the church and was taken to an disclosed hospital around Plateau State Polytechnic in Jos
Speaking to NAN, Mr. Peter Sani, best man to Aplang, described it as very “embarrassing”.

He attributed his friend’s behaviour to some sort of diabolism, adding that the action was not ordinary.
“Aplang is my childhood friend, Judith has been a friend and sister too, and he dated her for over 12 years.

“I was in the church to serve as a best man, and also as a fulfilled man to witness their wedding, but I was shocked and highly disappointed with what happened in the church today,” he said.

“This is not ordinary; Aplang will always confide in me on any issue, if he had the plan to walk out on the altar he would have told me.

“What happened today is unimaginable, I came out of the church weeping profusely,” he added.

Late Samuel Yarling before his death was a staff with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Plateau State, General Admin and procurement department (Maintenance Unit), a building engineer who graduated from the prestigious ATBU, he stated working with INEC 2013 to 2020.

The deceased’s friend took to Facebook to eulogize the late groom and it was really a sad one.

His post reads ;

Samuel Yarling was my colleague while at the Airtel Customer Care Centre. He was a jovial jolly good fellow.

We kept in touch even after ‘retiring’ from the call center we chatted and often joked about life and marriage.

Recently his pre-wedding pictures sprung up and i was super happy for him. I teased him and we laughed after which i wished him well.

Today was meant to be one of his happiest days but as fate would have it, he slummed and died today while getting ready for the great event.

Its been a day of sober reflection. Life is empty. Life is full of mysteries. May God heal and console all those grieving around the world.

May he grant us the wisdom to number our days and be straight in our dealings. Indeed this is not our home.
