In a video by @mrs_tee8 on TikTok, the lady gave an insight into what happened.
She said:
“Life is so private no one knew I lost my dad and his son (my step brother) refused to bury him not after two years, and then they fixed the burial a day to my wedding and my mum ended up not coming for my wedding because she was mourning her husband.”
In another video, the lady explained the reason the burial kept being postponed.
Father’s burial fixed after 2 years
According to her, her step-brother gave various excuses before finally agreeing to a date. To her surprise, her father’s burial was fixed on December 6, just a day before her wedding.
She stated that she had already planned her wedding and could not postpone it because of her dad’s burial.

As a result of the arrangement, her mother was unable to come to her wedding because she was mourning her husband.
She said:
“I talked to my mum. I knew she was not going to come to my wedding because I knew she was going to mourn her husband. But she was giving me the benefit of the doubt that I should not worry that she would come. So I went to my dad’s burial on December 6th, and in my culture, you have to carry your father’s picture and walk around the village.
“I did it and I was really stressed but the next day was my wedding and my mum was like she wasn’t coming because she had to mourn her husband, and it was part of the tradition. I understood her because if she doesn’t do it, my uncles will talk, and they would have a problem with it.”
