What happened at the wedding?

Everything was lucky and Johnnie hugged her to wish her luck in what would become her new life in Omaha, Nebraska, United States.

But in front of everyone, Toraze Davies, the man who had promised to love and respect her, fainted.

Univisión reported that Toraze collapsed unexpectedly at the door of the church, making a strong impression on Johnnie, his children, and all those who witnessed the union in front of an altar.

The guests cried for help, called for an ambulance, but alas, “Toraze was pronounced dead at the nursing home.” According to Radio 580 Nicaragua, he lost his life “because of a sudden clot”.

She was married and widowed in the space of 10 minutes.

To help with the expenses associated with this situation, plus those of the family, the couple’s friends publicized this tragedy on the GoFundMe platform.

Tricia Pugsley, quoted in the media, said that “they went to the hospital and the bride, Johnnie Mae, had to say goodbye to her husband.” The strong image squeezed everyone’s heart and the DJ commented, “Seriously, it’s the saddest thing ever.”
