Lynda was nearing 30 years old when her boyfriend of three years proposed. “We’d met through mutual friends and the attraction was mutual”, said Lynda. “Michael ha a good job with an oil company whilst I worked in my dad’s law firm As the only daughter, my parents had insisted on giving me a show-stopper when we eventually get married. My elder brother was my only sibling and he’d had a quickie wedding in the US so he could regularise his stay.
“Mum and I threw ourselves into organising a lavish celebration and booked a grand events centre. We hired a wedding planner straight away. She went wild, booking a videographer, a photographer and a couple of reputable caterers. I got a sophisticated wedding dress from abroad and also bought my bridesmaids’ dresses and suits for Michael and his best man. Michael and his friends had a lavish stag night and I had a memorable hen do.
“She told me Mike had texted her from abroad when we went shopping for the wedding. He’d even promised to take her whenever she had her annual leave. `I’ll forward the messages he sent me if you like’, she offered. I asked her to go ahead. A few minutes after she hung up, my phone started pinging with the texts. When I saw them, it was almost too much to bear – they proved Mike had genuine feelings for her too.
“But it wasn’t good news. As the wedding was just a couple of weeks away, they said we would lose our deposits. In the end, millions of Naira was lost. My parents put a brave face on it, but it was heartbreaking. They’d blown so much of their savings, and for nothing. It felt like a double betrayal. Mike had been seeing another woman behind my back – and he’d let my parents shell out millions on a wedding. I guess it had suited him.
