Parents Brought New Partners to the Wedding

What stung the most, according to Peller, was that both of his parents arrived at the wedding with their respective romantic partners, completely disregarding the tone he had tried to set for the day.

"Say, 'Make una carry new boyfriend come, my mother carry her boyfriend come, my daddy carry new girlfriend come.' All of them will turn my wedding to party, eh!" he lamented.

He also called out siblings and other family members for using the occasion to boost their own social media presence, adding to his irritation.

"Mama oh, papa oh, brother and everybody want turn to social media. I dey vex oh, me and my family, I dey vex for them like this, make you know say no be small," Peller said.

Peller used the moment to reflect on the broader challenges of being raised in a polygamous household, suggesting that the situation at his wedding was not entirely surprising given his family background.
