If you go outside of Nigeria with just traditional done, how exactly do you intend to show PROOF that you two are married? Perhaps you intent to show everyone a picture of a calabash or kolanut as proof that you two are married in the eyes of the law?

Oh mi gosh! I can't stop laughing!! Una no go kill person with laughter for here.  Wink

I do not agree with those who think church wedding means God's blessings. God's blessings go into a wedding at the point the two agree in truth and also at the spot the parents consent. Quite a number of very successful marriages were held outside any religious inclination.
How many of the "white weddings" are really white. In 99% of the cases, the man had already 'known' the lady. "And he knew her."
In the days of old, our fore-fathers lived long and happily with our "fore-mothers".
Traditional marriage is it.

Both people getting a nut tied: One should take on one

to fund. If not sometimes, anything to keep the

marriage going smoothly. Or the woman mainly will

discover her new husband has turn to a rogue as those

who help in spending all the resources left them with

rubber gifts.Since all has gone into holding the two

ceremonies, quarrels and bikerings set in. I always ask

why spending so much to make weddings hot while

marriage gets cold? People don't think well any more or

it's all confusing in there?

Well there is a good way to even avoid any fellas, just

'pad' the woman and the parents will be begging for

you to come and do a thing. Just a thing!

This double-headed ceremonies keep men away from

popping and the ladies turning to old spinsters. Is that

good people?

They are against it because they are not restricted by law to stay in a traditional marriage and also the fact that church wedding is against adultery or bringing in another wife.

 Angry :oWhat century are you living in. That is very far from the truth. I don't think anyone in this generation would think like that. People who wed in churches commit adultery too

It's at least against the church law to commit adultery against your wife as opposed to traditional weddings where it's more favorable to the man.

What is even  the need to have two weedings is only in Nigeria we have two weddings.
Let us learn how to stop this funny way of life. Some issues are to be remembered.

Please forgive my ignorance, but why opt for a traditional wedding, when there are no legal documents that solidify it? Wouldn't you want the security of knowing that you have official paperwork in case you go elsewhere in the world and need to prove your status?

Both.

Traditional because I believe in tradition

White because I strongly believe that "If the Lord does't not watch, in vain do we keep vigil"
