Weddings are one of the most memorable events in one’s life; and as a matter of fact, it is one of the very few that are destined to happen once in a lifetime.
But for Miss Helen, what was supposed to be the most auspicious day of her life, became a story of joy-turned-into-sorrow and a bitter pill to swallow, as her partner and groom, Samuel Yarling, who was meant to walk her down the isle, slumped and died on their wedding day today in Jos, Plateau State.
Upon his sudden demise, Nathaniel Audu Gana, took to the social networking site, Facebook, to pen down a tribute to his late friend, Samuel Yarling.
Below is their wedding invitation card.
Nathaniel Audu Gana‘s post on Facebook reads:
“Samuel Yarling was my colleague while at the Airtel Customer Care Centre. He was a jovial jolly good fellow.
We kept in touch even after ‘retiring’ from the call center we chatted and often joked about life and marriage.
Recently his pre-wedding pictures sprung up and i was super happy for him. I teased him and we laughed after which i wished him well.
Today was meant to be one of his happiest days but as fate would have it, he slummed and died today while getting ready for the great event.
Its been a day of sober reflection. Life is empty. Life is full of mysteries. May God heal and console all those grieving around the world.
May he grant us the wisdom to number our days and be straight in our dealings. Indeed this is not our home.”
