A dramatic scene unfolds at a traditional wedding as the bride's decision to choose honey over a Bible sparks anger from her mother.
The incident, captured in a TikTok video by @alaga_ire_ayo, quickly becomes a topic of discussion, drawing various reactions from viewers.
In the video, the bride's mother visibly expresses frustration and storms off after her daughter opts for a bottle of honey instead of the Bible during the traditional ceremony.
The MC instructed the bride to choose an item from the gifts presented by the groom's family as part of the bride price, leading to the controversial choice.
Despite her mother's insistence on choosing the Bible, the bride stands her ground and selects the honey, prompting her mother's abrupt departure from the scene.
Reactions as bride picks honey over bible at traditional wedding
BlazerFreshchic opined: “I love that this generation is going back to tradition. Whoever messed up the previous generation with religion did a bad job. Good to see she stood her ground, she knows what she wanted. Mum picked what she wanted on her own wedding, so allow her the young lady pls.”
HTBILLION noted: “My own is why must the mother get angry to the extent of walking away. Mothers need to learn that their children will turn to adults and start talking their own decisions. She just wan use bad energy spoil the wedding.”
leoleoqueen said: “I think people brides should even stop picking picking Bible. It’s not only sweet words and blessings that’s in the bible, there are curses and adversaries in there. Honey is the best and that’s the Yoruba tradition.”
TajudeenR wrote: “And, honey is sweet. She wants a sweet life not a religious life. What’s wrong with that? The mother should step aside, be happy for her daughter and stop trying to keep controlling her adult /now married daughter.”
