According to the pastor, the groom was not marrying the bride out of love, but rather to obtain Canadian papers.
“This is a marriage of immigration, not a marriage of love. Does he have papers in Canada?”
The pastor's action shocked the guests who had gathered to celebrate the couple's special day, and many took to social media to express their opinions on the matter.
Some commended the man of God for standing up for what he believed in, while others criticized him for his action.
Regardless of the opinions of others, it is clear that the wedding ceremony was not what the couple had hoped for.

Pastor refuses to bless couple who arrived late to wedding
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that drama ensued during the wedding of a couple at Port Harcourt in Nigeria after the pastor who was to officiate the marriage ceremony refused to do so. In a report posted along with the footage that was sighted by Fox Nigeria on the Instagram handle of Nigeriacamera, everything appeared to be out of control.
All attempts were being made by the couple and guests to get the event back in session, but the church officials would have none of that, simply because the couple reportedly arrived five minutes late. Reports have it that the pastor left the couple waiting for one hour and said he will wed them at his own convenience inside his office, not in the church as expected.
At some point, it is indicated that the bride broke down in tears while the groom tried to console her outside the church building with no success. Finally, the official photographer of the event gave an update that the couple got another person to serve as their officiating priest in a hotel.
