In Nigeria, it is common to see ladies shedding tears at their wedding as they are handed over to their husband but in this case, the father was the one breaking down in tears at his daughter’s wedding.
In new traditional wedding photos that have gone viral, an African father was seen shedding tears as he tried to give his blessings for his daughter’s marriage.
