Wedding day tragedy As Bride groom dies on way to church (photo)

There was supposed to be a wedding at one of the
churches in Ekwuluobia Anambra this weekend.
Instead, a funeral was arranged.

The 38-year-old groom, Mr. Nze- kwe Chukwuemeka
Barthlomew, died just hours before his wedding
vows to his bride groom on Saturday.

The late Bartholomew, a vulcanizer, died in an
accident on his way to Church for his wedding
ceremony in Ekwuluobia Anambra, yesterday.

According to reports, he was being conveyed on a
high capacity motorcycle around 9:30am by his Best
Man, from their home to the church in Ekwuluobia
where the bride was already waiting for him.

Tragedy struck when the two friends ran into a
stationary Camry car and the driver of the car
suddenly opened the door oblivious of the
motorcycle coming behind reportedly on a high
speed.

Although, his Best Man sustained minor injuries, the
groom was hit hard by the door – he landed on the
tarred road hitting his head against the hard surface
and died on the spot.

His corpse has since been deposited at a morgue
while the Best Man was rushed to a hospital for
treatment.
