A shocking event happened during a wedding in Nyansiongo ward, Borabu Constituency, Kisii County. The groom, Omwenga, fainted after his bride shared a big secret during their wedding ceremony.
The wedding took place in a local Pentecostal church, with many guests watching. Everything was going well until the bride spoke during her vows. In an emotional moment, she told Omwenga she had four boys from a past relationship, aged between four and twelve years old. This was news to Omwenga, who didn’t know about her children.
The groom looked stunned and confused. Suddenly, he fainted, falling to the ground in front of everyone. The guests, family, and church leaders rushed to help him. People were worried, and the church became chaotic as they tried to wake him up.
After a few minutes, Omwenga opened his eyes but was still upset. He asked to stop the wedding because he needed time to think about what he just learned. The bride stood quietly, looking shaken by what happened.
The guests had mixed feelings. Some felt sorry for Omwenga, saying the bride should have told him about her kids earlier. They thought it was unfair to share such big news at the altar. “You don’t hide something like that until the wedding day,” one guest said. “Trust is important in marriage, and this could hurt their relationship.”
Others supported the bride. They said she might have been scared to tell Omwenga earlier because she didn’t want to lose him. “Maybe she thought he wouldn’t marry her if he knew about her kids,” a friend said. “It’s hard to share something so personal.” These people felt the bride meant well by being honest, even if she chose a bad time.
The incident got people talking about trust and honesty in relationships. Many said couples should talk about important things, like having children, long before getting married. Some wondered if the bride felt pressured to keep her secret because she was afraid of being judged.
When the wedding stopped, everyone left the church feeling unsure about what would happen next. No one knew if Omwenga and his bride would still get married or if this news would end their relationship. The bride’s four boys, who weren’t at the wedding, now became a big part of the couple’s future. People wondered if Omwenga would accept being a stepfather or if the shock was too much for him.
The story spread quickly in Nyansiongo, and it made people think about how important it is to be open in relationships. Love is strong, but secrets can cause problems, especially when they come out at the wrong time. The couple’s future is unclear, but their story has already touched many people in the community.
This event at the small church shows how one moment can change everything. It reminds everyone that being honest, even when it’s hard, is the best way to build a strong marriage. Whether Omwenga and his bride can move forward together is still unknown, but their story will stay with the community for a long time.
