It’s common to see maid-of-honors shed a few tears as a genuine expression of happiness at weddings.
Occasionally, grooms or their best men may also be caught in emotional moments, reflecting true joy.
However, a recent incident involving a best man weeping uncontrollably at his friend's wedding has sparked massive reactions on social media.
This development occurred at the wedding of popular Nigerian gospel musician Okopi Peterson and fashion designer Prudence Gabriel, which took place on October 20, 2024.
After the couple exchanged vows and the pastor pronounced them husband and wife, the best man was seen crying profusely. His tears were so intense that the groom had to leave his wife’s side to comfort him.
The groom consoled his best man, whispered some words to him, and pulled him close. At one point, while being consoled, the best man leaned on the groom's shoulder and almost kissed his neck.
This display has led to a wave of reactions from netizens, many of whom are puzzled by the best man's emotional outburst.
Some suggest he is crying as though the groom has been taken from him, while others are concerned about the intimate nature of their interaction, questioning why they appeared to be acting like lovers.
