These Two Nigerian Brides Left Their Own Wedding Receptions to Take Their Final Exam
Two Nigerian brides are proving that you can have your wedding cake and eat it too. Brides Dorcas Atsea and Doborah Atoh, two final-year students pursuing Mass Communications degrees, found that their weddings fell on the same date as their final exam, following a postponement of the test in February. Their solution? Host a wedding and reception, but take a mid-day break to take their final exam.
According to CNN, both women attempted to ask for a date adjustment but to no avail.
“I went to the exam officer, she said I should choose between the two: the exam or the wedding,” Atoh said.
As mom always told me, grades come first! These two women prove my mom’s point LOL https://t.co/lEmFNtaEx1 @News3LV @wakeupwiththecw

On the day of their weddings, Atoh and Atsea headed to the church to tie the knot, then hightailed it to the university, wedding gowns and all, to take their final year exam at noon. Following completing their test, the brides and scholars attended their respective wedding receptions.
The men can wait, get that education queen.

This is wonderful! It is important that all women should be educated. This will give them better opportunities to make informed decisions about their lives and those of their children.
