Couple Whose Wedding Was Cancelled Over Pregnancy Weds In Another Church In Aba by Loveth160: 1:08pm On Nov 29, 2023
Friends and family members of a man whose wedding was cancelled in Aba, Abia State by his church, have praised his courage for going ahead with the wedding, in another church.

The man, Mr Israel Kennedy, was to wed his wife, former Miss Rose, in an Assemblies of God Church at 158 Ikot Ekpene road in Aba, but the wedding was cancelled because the wife-to-be was discovered to be pregnant, by the church, a few hours to the wedding.

This made the board of the church to cancel the wedding in accordance with the laws establishing the church which totally forbids pregnancy before marriage.

Israel Kennedy and his lover were also suspended and fined by the church for defaulting in the church’s law.

The cancellation left the couple and their guests disappointed as they had already spent a huge amount of money to prepare for the wedding and reception.

But supported by his friends, family members and his in-laws, Mr Kennedy and his wife got a new church in the Enyimba city where they were joined together as husband and wife.

The new church (name withheld) agreed to wed the man and his wife based on its own constitution.

The church weds such couples once the traditional marriage rites have been completely performed.

According to a friend of the couple, Uche Simeon, “the man and his wife are now happy that they have become husband and wife.

“The embarrassment of last Sunday has been wiped away and they are not even bothered about any more sanctions from their original church.”

The Church rule is to put the horse before the cart.
Do the right thing and every other thing can follow.
linearity:


Meaningless Church rule!

There are no mention of church wedding any where in the Bible, none of the early Christians practiced it in the Bible, it is a blindly copy and paste Whiteman tradition.

The role of the Church should be to bring the couples before God, pray and bless them after it has been confirmed that the traditional marriage rites has been completed!
Unfortunately you are ignorant.
There are places in Nigeria where the traditional marriage will not be conducted if the bride is pregnant!Rules are rules!!

But they ought to have followed the church's rules.
Thats why I love Catholic Church, your wife fit wear gown today, enter labour room tomorrow. cheesy

Although its not encouraged to get pregnant before marriage, but the Catholic Church will still wed you,so as to discourage a " change of plans" that might hurt the pregnant woman and child tomorrow.

You have decided to be a slave to your pastor and church so take whatever embarrassment they give you. As for me, I'm not a slave to any pastor and I won't place myself in a situation where a person will embarrass me in the name of church. Is church marriage compulsory?

The overbearing tendency of some of these churches is too much. Who told them that marriages conducted in the church is the certificate to peaceful home?

You see traditional marriage and court wedding.
Thats all we need, church wedding is just waste of funds and sometimes inviting unnecessary problems

In Anglican communion you'll be scolded, but you will definitely get wedded.... ..dem nack and belle show, everybody dey sin, but God still dey forgive us

others nack belle no show or dem use protection and you'll still wed them

Note:ino dey encourage nacking outside wedlock oh.. Virginity test for both male and female would have been ideal

The point is why was there marriage canceled? But I have no interest on that but if it was because of pregnancy before marriage or sex before marriage and they found out, the church did the right thing. No regret! No be one person wey leave church go make church fall.

That is not right. So long as the traditional rites have been done then they are married..... Moreover cancelling it few hours to the wedding.....that is appalling. They would have gone ahead even if it outside the church and then privately take actions.

GOD BLESS THE PASTOR THAT SENT THOSE IRRESPONSIBLE WAYWARD FORNICATORS AWAY.
THE CHURCH OR MOSQUE SHOULD NEVER BE A PLACE WHERE NONSENSE AND IMMORALITY IS CONDONE.

Our society can never get better if we keep tolerating NONSENSE.
WE ONLY GOT TO THIS POINT BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY BASTARDS IN THE SOCIETY AND BASTARDS ARE FOND OF CAUSING MENACE TO THE SOCIETY.
THE NAME FOR CHILDREN BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK HAVE NEVER CHANGED, WE STILL CALL THEM BASTARDS.


It should be a big shame on any parent whose daughter is not marrying as a virgin, not talk of getting pregnant.
Such girl and parents don't deserve bride price.
BRIDE PRICE IS A TRADITIONAL THING AND ONLY TO BE PAID ON VIRGINS.


IF I WERE A FATHER AND MY DAUGHTER DOES THIS, SHAME AND PRINCIPLE WILL NOT EVEN ALLOW ME ATTEND THE WEDDING, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THIS GENERATION IS FILLED WITH IRRESPONSIBLE OLD FOOL ADULTS AND PARENTS.

If it's the law of the Church not to get pregnant before wedding, then there is no big deal here.
The church is right in cancelling the wedding.

Make sense....
Children are blessings...
Marriage is a blessing...
God no deh only one church...
He dey everywhere...
As long as the couples are happy, then may God bless their marriage...
I'm sure that the pastor that refused to Wed them wasn't a virgin before he got married and most likely didn't marry a virgin...
Let he who is without sin be the first to cast a stone....
Re: Couple Whose Wedding Was Cancelled Over Pregnancy Weds In Another Church In Aba by Lee99: 1:28pm On Nov 29, 2023
Meanwhile people are still fornicating in that church, hypocrites everywhere, the pastor will be pained...
Must you even marry in the church? What happened to court wedding?
