A wedding celebration took an unexpected and humorous turn when the best man reportedly abandoned his official duties midway through the ceremony — all in pursuit of a hot plate of amala.
What was meant to be a smooth and well-coordinated role quickly descended into chaos after the groomsman allegedly slipped away from the main event at a critical moment, leaving guests stunned and the wedding proceedings briefly disrupted.
Eyewitnesses say the best man, who was expected to assist the groom and keep the ceremony running seamlessly, was later spotted enjoying a hearty serving of amala instead of standing by the couple during key moments of the occasion.
The incident has since become a talking point online, with many amused guests joking that “no wedding duty can compete with good food.” Others, however, criticized the lapse in responsibility, saying the best man’s role is too important to be abandoned for personal indulgence.
Despite the disruption, the wedding reportedly continued after the brief confusion was resolved, with the couple eventually completing their ceremony.
Still, social media users are having a field day with the moment, turning it into memes and debates about loyalty, priorities, and the irresistible power of a well-served plate of amala.
