Relatives and friends of Mirian Chinonso Sunday, a Nigerian woman, are grieving deeply following her passing just two days before her traditional wedding.
Reports indicate that Mirian died on Friday, October 3, in Umuahia, Abia State.
Her traditional wedding was set to take place on Sunday, October 5.
Ugochukwu Princewill (Donish Gold), her fiancé, had posted their pre-wedding pictures on October 2, expressing gratitude for her choosing him.
“Sunday we party. 5th October. Thank you so much for choosing me, my baby girl…. love is a beautiful thing,” he wrote.
It is said that Mirian was heading to the market when she began experiencing chest pain and was quickly taken to FMC Umuahia, where doctors fought to save her life.
