The Catholic Archbishop of Ibadan Archdiocese, Most Revd. Gabriel Abegunrin, has averred that wearing suits and gowns for white weddings is not what validates a marriage, disclosing that he would soon lead a campaign for intending couples to be decked in native attires on their wedding day.


While not condemning English wears, he promoted the use of lace materials and ankara clothings for weddings just as the bridegroom and bride did during their traditional marriage ceremony.

Speaking with journalists in Ibadan, Abegunrin reasoned that about-to-wed couples sporting native attires for wedding ceremonies, either in the church or registry, would help in promoting good aspects of culture, which could not be separated from a people’s identity.
