Now, I anticipate I'm going to get a lot of criticism for this but I'll go ahead. On the wedding day, the officiating person who joins the groom and bride usually says, "You may now kiss the bride", (Well, this doenst happen in Redeemed Christian Churches) . For me, this is another subtle indication of the fact that you weren't supposed to have been doing that before the wedding day, along with a lot of other things.I know people might say this statement is just what our Pastors or people around us have created but please comment. Thanks.

If it doesnt happen in Redeemed Christian CHurch, does it mean that the practice of kissing your bride to be, before your wedding plan/date is right or wrong?

Can you compare the level, intensity and nature of kissing that a bride and groom engage in, in CHurch before their parents, the church congregation and before witnesses, overflowing with blessings, joy and prayers, with the kind of kissing that usually results in unwanted pregancies out of wedlock?

That is why the pregnancies are called unwanted: because the kissing was not planned. There were no prayers and blessings involved. It was lustfully done, usually in quiet, dark places, for which testimonies about the kiss cannot be shared with and boasted about in the public.

What im trying to say is: whether or not the statement is an RCCG practice, doesnt approve or negate the statement as part of the marriage ceremony. How many of such ceremonies took place in the days of our great and grand-fathers? And if ull be getting married in the RCCG, there would be no remorse from the congregation if you ask for a special permission to kiss your bride in front of the whole church - at least for that golden photo shoot, with the altar as a background.

I am also trying to say that there are many other things, more important and vital im a marriage than the aspect of wedding day: you may now kiss the bride. Such things could be more focused on.

nhhhhh, but it happen in Reedem but not in deeper life, u dont kiss, dont put on ring, no wedding gown in deeper life,
instead of ring, they give u a bible.
