A deeply emotional moment at a traditional Nigerian wedding has captured hearts online after a bride’s father was brought to tears when his daughter was asked to return her surname during the ceremony.
The touching scene was shared by a wedding content creator on TikTok, showing the bride standing solemnly before her father as the master of ceremonies announced the symbolic rite.
The moment marked a formal transition of a woman from her father’s household into her husband’s, with the symbolic return of her maiden name.
“This name that you have carried since birth… it is now time to return it to your father,” the officiant declared.
With tears streaming down the father’s face, he struggled to contain the weight of the moment, a realization that his daughter was no longer just his little girl, but a woman now joining a new family.
