"The reverend is the one who canceled the wedding claiming the courtship period was short."

He alleged that the preacher who was to officiate the wedding informed him that they had not provided specific documentation.

"He said they postponed the wedding and we will be holding a meeting next week. He said the couple had not filled out some forms and not submitted their parents' IDs photocopies," he explained.
