A planned wedding ceremony in Imo State has been called off after the groom reportedly discovered an old Facebook photograph of his fiancée allegedly smoking cannabis, commonly referred to as “Canadian Loud.
Sources close to the couple said the groom came across the image while reviewing his fiancée’s past social media posts just days before the scheduled ceremony. The discovery reportedly triggered tensions between the two families, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the event.
The bride-to-be was said to have appealed to her fiancé, explaining that the photograph reflected a past phase of her life and did not represent her current values or lifestyle. She reportedly urged him to judge her based on who she is now rather than on previous actions.
However, the groom was said to have expressed discomfort with proceeding with the marriage following the discovery. Efforts by both families to mediate and salvage the union were unsuccessful before the planned wedding date, resulting in the ceremony being suspended.
The development has generated mixed reactions within the community. While some residents supported the groom’s decision, citing the importance of openness and shared values in marriage, others argued that individuals should not be defined solely by past mistakes, particularly if they have demonstrated change.
Relationship experts note that similar situations are increasingly common, as historical social media content often resurfaces during courtship and wedding preparations, raising concerns about trust, transparency, and compatibility.
As of the time of filing this report, neither family has issued an official public statement regarding the incident.
