"I have decided to leave her and let her go find another husband," Amos stated.

Amos Rono, a groom-to-be of the cancelled wedding has finally given his side of the story behind the last-minute cancellation of the wedding in Bomet. 

Speaking to a section of the media, Amos noted that the wedding was called off after Nelly Chepkoech informed him of her extra-marital affair.

Amos accused Nelly of not being sincere and open to him until the day before their much-awaited wedding.

"The wedding could have happened on Saturday, December 9 but the bride said that she had another person. She had not informed me about that before. So the wedding did not happen because of what she said," Amos stated.

Following the wedding cancellation, Amos announced that he had decided to break with Nelly for that action.

"Another thing, I have decided to leave her and let her go find another husband. I have forgiven her and let her go with a clean heart. I wish her prosperity," emotionally overwhelmed Amos stated.

"She was to become my wife and her father played a key role in helping us plan this marriage. She however came to me a day before the wedding and informed me of this other guy," Amos added.

Nelly had earlier expressed shock over the wedding cancellation however pleaded with Kenyans to give them time to iron out their differences. 

She absolved herself noting that she was not the one to blame for the wedding cancellation.

"We were supposed to celebrate a wedding in Kapsoyo. We had diligently planned this occasion for two months, pooling funds in a WhatsApp group to cover the expenses. Unfortunately, the reverend advised us to postpone the event, and we did not know what to do. Both of us shed tears," she said.
