He recounted that the shocking revelation came to light as they were preparing for their white wedding ceremony.
The couple’s hopes of smoothly transitioning from their traditional wedding to a lavish white wedding hit a roadblock when the priest insisted on checking their medical test results.
Unfortunately, their distress grew when the tests showed that both the husband and his pregnant wife had the AS genotype, making them carriers of the sickle cell trait.
