Friday, December 20, 2024 - A Kenyan man, Dave Danson was left in shock and heartbroken after his fiancé cancelled their wedding two days to the ceremony.
Dave shared his story in a Facebook post on December 17, 2024.
According to him, he had been looking forward to the big day slated for
October 5, 2024, as well as starting a new journey with his partner, who he met
in a church fellowship.
He moved from a man cave to a comfortable family house, paid all the
vendors, the venue, and the outfits.
A bridal shower was thrown by his then fiance’s friends while his mother
gathered all her friends, the villagers, hired a school bus to come and witness
the wedding of her last child.
However, three days to the wedding, his fiancé's phone calls went
unanswered.
Read his story below:
DUMPED TWO DAYS TO MY WEDDING.
Just as I was just about to leave the market, I stepped on a banana peel
and was thrown back to onions and cabbages. A little haul of my life as i clear
the 2024 hard drives. (long post, get yourself a cup of tea, herbal not verbal.
I met a beautiful lady in a fellowship, and we dated enough to take it
to the next level. We took a thorough Premarital Counseling Classes for 12
weeks according to our church requirements and we graduated.
Did a beautiful proposal and I got a Yes! if you follow my socials, you
might have come across the video that was later pulled down.
We took it to another level of parents and dowry payments, and we
successfully went through it.
Planned for a wedding dated 5th October 2024. Went through all the legal
and church requirements. I moved from a man cave to a comfortable family house....
Paid all the vendors, the venue and the outfits.
A week to the wedding a beautiful bridal shower was thrown by her
friends. My mother gathered all her friends and the villagers, hired a school
bus to come witness her last born getting himself a wife. (she was very happy)
All was set for the day but 3 days to the wedding, her phone calls went
unanswered (there was no fight no argument whatsoever)
I involved our best couple, and their calls went unanswered too. The
next day she called for a meeting through the best couple and dropped a
bombshell “I want to cancel the wedding”
My heart dropped in the stomach and my saliva dried up. I tried water
but the words in my head became ice. We went for hours looking for any reason
to have caused that and her final answer was "I Don't Love Him Anymore and
I'm Not Ready To Get Married"...good enough!
As hard it would have been I accepted, and the announcement was released
that the wedding has been indefinitely called off.
My phone has never received many calls like that week, the parking was
flooding with friends and family coming over to check up on me.
The faithfulness of God when He says he'll never leave us nor forsake
us. The peace that surpasses all human understanding…And it's in that time I
realized that my life is hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3:- that
anything to harm me would first go through Christ then God to get me which is
impossible!
I'm well covered.
The beauty of belonging to a local church family RATC-Reconciliation
at the cross The Hub Of Love that ministers love to a hurting world embraced me with
so much love and shielded me from the enemy that prowls around like a roaring
lion looking for someone to devour.
My spiritual parents,Rev Benjamin Kasankya and
Rev Ndanu Mukisa Kasankya told me, "we love you Danson, you are
our son, we'll hold and walk with you through this. God loves you so much and
His purpose in your life is still great. And they've kept their word till this
very day
Mum Dr. Sarah K
music embrace would call and still calls me for hours to know how I'm
doing besides her busy schedule (not to mention she was to lead worship in my
wedding)
My best couple Pattie Mwangi and Augustine Ninhoo , you guys are exceptional. You guys gave your sweat
and blood to make sure everything was successful. Pattie you took all the
bullets (God will reward and heal all the wounds)
Willie took me for drives to get me distracted and still do numerous
calls to check up on me. I owe you guys. (given another chance I'd choose you
)
My therapist who's making sure that this leaves me a better and not a
bitter person. And to everyone who called, texted, sent a motivational video,
sermon and scriptures. May God send you a helper in any time of need.
And on the fateful wedding day. My siblings threw a private party to
celebrate with me, friends and family. We dressed up the wedding legalia. Ate
all the food and the cake and made merry till my eyes couldn't stay open
anymore.
