A viral video circulating online has sparked widespread reactions after a best man was spotted stepping away from his wedding duties to eat a plate of amala during the ceremony.
The clip, which has gained traction across social media platforms, captures an unusual yet relatable moment at what appeared to be a lively wedding reception.
Guests were seated and attentive, while the master of ceremonies continued with the programme, indicating that the event was still in full swing.
Best Man Caught in a Relatable Moment
Amid the ongoing activities, a sharply dressed young man, identified as the best man, was seen standing quietly near a wall.
Rather than engaging with guests or assisting with proceedings, he appeared fully focused on enjoying a plate of amala.
