Traditional Marriage Or 'White Wedding'?
« on: January 25, 2007, 10:28 PM »

Hi,
If you were to choose which ceremony to perform which would it be and why.
Personally I beleive that the traditional marraige is the most important.
If I had my way I would just do a registry thing (with just the key people in attendance) and then a full scale traditional wedding.

"Give to Ceaser what is Ceaser's and to God what is his". Each of them is just as important as the other in my own opinion Wink

Better pick the one , you know it origin, and  not the copied one, you do not know where it originate.

if you are to pick one, you have no other choice other than traditional marriage because no good church will wed you without your traditional marriage first

well for me both are important. when you perform the traditional marriage it means you respect your tradition and performing the white wedding is like inviting God to your marriage because without Him the whole thing'll just flop.

I don't agree with this statement. My uncle wedded in a catholic church many years before he did the traditional ceremony.  They did not have the finances to do the two at the same time and the bride's father requested that they post pone the trad. The only thing I know is that many churches require proof of the girl's family consent and performance of the traditional rites usually suffices in that regard

Guys,, you are married the day the parent or Guardian of the girl welcomes you into the house and recieves anything(drinks) from your hand,,letting relatives drink and eat with you,,, thats that,, any other thing remains ceremonial

true talk. But in instances where you marry without  the parents consent does that invalidate the marraige,

white or traditional, it depends on the individual's belief. but i think the white one is better. it biblically binds you to just your partner. the traditional one gives room for more than wife(as a man). also based on the suit and wedding gown and other stuffs, i would like to have pictures of such in my sitting room. it would be lovely. white wedding will make you more careful about adultery because you know, God's words are involved

If you are to choose means you'll take one out of the two. so,why are some people saying both? opinions are just being soughted for between the two. personally i'll go for wine carrying because thats our recorgnised tradition Cool

why is it called 'white' wedding? Because its an imitation of what obtains in the western world?
i'd have both a church wedding and a trado if i happen to marry a naija girl (otherwise, just the church wedding)

I choose both.

First the traditional and then the court thingy which is referred to as white wedding.

Actually the order does not matter as long as it is ordained by the Almighty God.
