\nHer younger brother David Mabou said her family boycotted the wedding which they felt was “a stupid step to combat her loneliness”.
\nBut Ms Mabou said: “For so long, I’ve been praying for a life partner who will have all the qualities of my dad. My dad was kind, faithful, and loyal to my mum, and he never let her down.
\n“I’ve been in relationships with so many men…, and they are all the same… skirt-chasers and cheaters. My dog is kind, and loyal to me and he treats me with so much respect.”
\nIn the ceremony, the priest warned villagers not to mock the wedding, but to “rejoice with her as she has found happiness at last”. – ananova.com
