A colourful garden wedding ceremony turned into a nightmare for a couple in Tana River county after a man claiming to be their father emerged just as they were about to walk down the aisle claiming that he is the father of both the Bride and Groom.

The couple was forced to cancel their ceremony the man stormed the venue terming it an abomination.

Anne Magwi and Jotham Munini, children raised by single parents, had walked into the church on Saturday for their wedding when their alleged father, alongside his sisters

The man, James Sidai, claiming paternity for the couple said he had sired children with both women involved in the wedding at a time before they parted ways due to various reasons. He said one of the children, the groom, was sired in an informal relationship that did not end well, while the bride was conceived from the woman with whom he had a clandestine relationship at the time.

The pastor explained that the man, Sidai, claimed that after the wife discovered he was having an affair, their relationship became toxic and she fled with their child, who was just a year old then. It is then that he tried to build a stronger relationship with his other lover only for it to end due to financial constraints at the time, which triggered frequent misunderstandings.

She left with a four-month-old pregnancy, and would later get married to a school teacher a year later.

Pastor Muli said that Mr Sidai produced photos of the two children when they were young and when in college, which he had obtained from friends and relatives who had interacted with them.

“This man married and has three children with the current wife, but has never been in contact with the children he sired out of wedlock until he learned of a wedding through a friend who also shared it on a certain WhatsApp group. That is when he decided to make this trip and trace the church,” said the pastor.

According to Sidai’s nephew, who sought anonymity, the man has been trying to trace his children for the past 10 years in vain. His efforts to even reach some of the friends of the first wife did not yield fruits, while in the case of the said daughter, he was informed through friends that the woman had delivered a baby girl resembling him and had settled down in life.

“He saw the daughter once in the same school his children attend but he did not know how to go about it since the other father was visiting. He never saw her again after completing her primary school education. All he wanted was to save their lives and forestall a looming calamity,” she said.

Pastor Muli noted that he had to call off the wedding and summon the parents for talks after he was informed by one of the pastors of the new development.

The groom, according to the pastor, was informed that the father died in a road accident when he was young, while the bride grew up knowing the teacher, who has since died, as her father.

“The women did not deny knowing the man, and neither did they deny paternity. We sat down the couple in the nick of time and explained things out,” he noted.

Church members, friends, and some of the relatives who had turned up for the wedding were left dumbfounded.

To save the family from shame, the pastor told those who had attended that the church leadership had resolved to call off the wedding as the couple had defaulted guidance from church elders with regards to purity before a wedding.

The groom, a businessman in Madogo town, walked out of the meeting an angry man and drove away in his car leaving his mother in tears.

The bride, on the other hand, was whisked away with her mother and relatives in another car.

Efforts to reach the parents of the couple for a comment did not bear fruit.
