No show: Wedding stopped as bride’s family demands cow and calf

Catholic catechist told to deliver dowry before being allowed to tie the knot.

The family of Evaline Jelagat was adamant that their daughter would only leave her father’s house and go to the wedding after the bridegroom David Etabo delivers a cow and a calf as part of dowry.

All the wedding plans had been finalised and in line with tradition, Mr Etabo had taken the front pew waiting for his bride to arrive. Little did he know that the much-awaited moment would not come.

I believe in traditions too but I think she was milking it a bit

Yeah, asking for livestock for the dowry these days is just too cheesy.

I hope no one looks at her calves!

I wonder, if he’d given her a camel would she have got the hump?

I hope no one looks at her calves!

Before marriage? How udderly SCANDALOUS!

OH. My. Gosh. I hate all of these.

The bride was nowhere to be seen… or herd.

Udderly ridiculous!

Udderly ridiculous!

The poor groom sat there near the altar until the cows came home… But nobody came.

On the other hand, the guests went to the hall anyway and feasted. After all, why cry over spilled milk?

 

[Beryllos]

What a sad tail. They could have had a stable marriage.

Just why that’s all!

She said, “No huggee, no kissee until I get a wedding cow.”

You all are as bad as my kids!

When I told my youngest boy about this he said, “Now I’ve herd it all! Guess her dad really had a beef with him. Either that or they are trying to milk him for all he’s worth”
