Tears as bride's mother dies before wedding
Emotional moments from the wedding were captured on video and shared on TikTok by @inshortbisi.
The clip showed the bride struggling to hold back tears as she exchanged vows with her partner.
Despite the joyous occasion, the absence of the bride's mother left her with a deep void in her heart.
The family, however, found a way to honour her memory by carrying a large photo of her while dancing around the venue.
The bride, who was said to be the last daughter of the family, was visibly shaken and in pain throughout the ceremony.
"Bride's mother passed away just 5 days before her daughter's wedding leaving behind a legacy of love and a life well lived. We love you mama," the video's caption read.
