Its Over Between Us! Groom Of Bomet's Run Away Bride Nelly Chepkoech Declares

The groom from the canceled Bomet wedding has finally addressed the issue, claiming that his bride-to-be, Nelly Chepkoech, was having an affair.

Amos Rono, 30, announced the cancellation of his wedding arrangements with Nelly Chepkoech.

Rono accused his fiancee of not being real and open to him after spilling the beans on what happened up until the wedding was called off.

“My plans to wed Nelly Chepkoech are over because she was not sincere and only waited to the last minute when she decided to open up and declare she was dating another man and had not fully decided on marrying me,” Rono said.

On Thursday afternoon, Chepkoech informed Africa Gospel Church Tenwek Area Director Reverend Reuben Koech that she was not ready to proceed with the wedding.

“She broke the news through a text message to Rev Koech that she needed time to decide and her allegation that the church postponed the wedding is a big lie,” he said.

Rono told The Standard at their home in Kapsoyo Village that she initially claimed she was still young and not ready to settle down for marriage, but after further questioning, she revealed she had another man in her life and was not fully committed to walking down the aisle with me.

"I met her on Thursday in Bomet Town when we were processing clearance for the marriage certificate, and later that day, she wrote the text, and an emergency meeting was called by Reverend who was supposed to preside over our wedding, and it is during the meeting that she broke the news," he told reporters.

“It is over between the two of us and I would want to wish her all the best,” he said.

Rono stated that her last-minute admission that she had another man in her life prompted him to connect the dots on recent occurrences as they planned the wedding.

“Imagine she convinced me that we should not organize a pre-wedding on grounds of financial constraints and instead organized a farewell at her local church in our absence,” he said.
