I married a single mother who has a 3 year old daughter. I promised her I would take care of her and her child. We later have 3 children of our own.
No one could tell if I am not the father of my stepdaughter. I love her and trained her in the best university. She’s now a medical doctor and 27 years old.
When she told me she was getting married, I was the happiest man. I paid for everything that would make the wedding successful. The hall, food and drinks, wedding cake, engagement party,reception and everything .
So few days to the wedding my daughter told me she would want her biological father to walk her down the aisle and her mother supported her. This was the father that didn’t offer any assistance to the child all these years, they met again 6 months ago.
After 24 years of my sweat he wants to reap where he didn’t sow . I didn’t argue with my wife and daughter,I called all the vendors I paid to and cancelled the arrangement and collected my money. I told my daughter to tell her father to pay for those things if he wants his daughter to marry on that day and I travelled out of the country. They are now calling me a wicked man. What’s your opinion on my actions.
A Nigerian man has come forward to share how he cancelled his step daughter’s wedding because the biological father wanted to reap where he didn’t sow.
What’s your take on this?

Nchekwube: I like his decision
Okediadi Emeka: Women, the way they think and act marvels me. Sometimes I wonder how some of them excel in their professions. When it comes to marriage, boyfriend, fiancee etc issues hmm. Bros you did well to cancel the marriage. However the father of the lady is a fool, he's not a man
Ilechukwu Nnaemeka M.: His actions looks like I would’ve done in that situation and who’s wrong here is her mother that introduced to the original father. If they had requested for his presence on the wedding line another guest that would have been a different ball game.
Leslie: To me he did the right thing, some people get mind shaa
COLLINS: The man is right because they took him for granted. They didn't even consider his feelings. And this hurt will last very long and the crack in the family will be hard to mend.
And seriously, they have been connecting before now. No one is stopping the connection but on an important day like this,...
Like minds🫂: The blame should be on her mother, what they planned to do was totally wrong, this action will not only distance the man from her step daughter but will also question the wife's loyalty and sense of reasoning.
As for cancelling the preparations, he shouldn't be blamed, he did what anybody could do....
Eleazar Onwuka: The step father acted well.The so called biological father would have sneaked into the wedding unnoticed to observe the wedding if he must be there.By the way,who is sure he is the real biological father of the girl? Poor arrangements for the wedding came from the mother.She does not love her husban...
Rita Ebele Okecha: He could have handled it diplomatically. After all, blood is thicker than water. His wife did not handle the situation well.
