Family and friends of a young Nigerian lady, Mirian Chinonso Sunday, have been thrown into mourning after she tragically passed away just two days before her traditional wedding.
The incident occurred on Friday, October 3, in Umuahia, Abia State. Mirian’s traditional marriage was scheduled for Sunday, October 5, and her fiancé, Ugochukwu Princewill, also known as Donish Gold, had shared pre-wedding photos on October 2, expressing his gratitude and excitement.
He wrote: “Sunday we party. 5th October. Thank you so much for choosing me, my baby girl… love is a beautiful thing.”
Reports indicate that Mirian began experiencing chest pain while on her way to the market. She was rushed to FMC Umuahia, where doctors attempted to save her life.
It was reported that she developed internal bleeding and underwent emergency surgery, but despite medical intervention, she could not be revived.
Friends and loved ones expressed their shock and grief online. Christian Ojike Agbaeze, a friend of the fiancé, lamented:
“A day made for celebration has turned to condolences. Blessing, this was not the plan. Uka, my man Donish Gold, take heart; you don’t deserve such cruelty from this world. Nigerian medical system failed you. We were meant to pay your pride price on Friday 03 2025 and party properly on 05, and you died on Friday 03, a day meant to be your happiest day. Saddest month ever. Why God?”
Another friend reflected on Mirian’s sudden death, emphasizing that she had been healthy and looking forward to her wedding:
“My sister, as we fondly call each other. You left everyone in shock and agony with your sudden death. You were very healthy and excited over your traditional marriage that was supposed to hold tomorrow, being 5th October, until death snatched you away from us last night. I just wish this whole news was a prank, but reality keeps making me sad.”
The contracted wedding MC also confirmed the tragedy, sharing a screenshot from their conversation and expressing disbelief at the sudden loss:
“Still in shock. She contacted me just a few months ago, full of excitement, as we planned her big day. I was ready to stand as her MC to celebrate love, laughter, and new beginnings with her. But today, we lost her. From marriage plans to funeral tears in just one night… it’s too heavy. Life truly is fragile. Mirian Sunday, may your gentle soul rest in peace, and may your family find strength in this dark moment.”
The bride-to-be’s sudden death has left her family, friends, and fiancé devastated.
