MrCrackles:

Fuc.k counselling, i decide if i want or not, if i dont, i will gladly take my marriage to the registry and straight to the reception if the pastor becomes fussy!

~Sauron~:

Says who??

A Pastor is like a shepherd and the members of his church are the sheep.
A HIV+ man/woman coming to marry in that church is the wolf/lioness.
Now do the math!!!!

stillwater:

No need for maths here. If they were really sheperds, why are there situations of wealthy pastors and poverty stricken members? But in marriage they become sheperds.

Because Pastors stick to the scripts. . . . .They fast, pray and watch day and night. They never miss their tithes n offerings.
Meanwhile, the members(Sister Comfort and Brother Joseph) meet up after choir practise for a nice Mouth Gig and some ass-spanking.
Do the math again.(using a calculator this time, your 4-figure table is now obsolete).


And the family of the bride will be left out of the equation??

tope2000:

I see the naija fever is still u huh?
counselling is very good

No naija fever here jare

I aint disputing counselling is bad, but at the same time, there has to be limitations of what can be imposed on couples looking to get married

The wedding between two people in love cant be manipulated to satisfy some bullshit conditions to be fair

Dem own too much for that country, we need to get real and stand up tall

Tell it like it is Brash!

There's too much control in Naija by external parties. While counselling, wisdom and advice are good - YOU eventually face the problems and should be allowed to make your bed as you see fit. If they insist on babying you now, when will you grow up?

As long as they aren't 18 year old Hot kids trying to get married so they can shag, no one should cancel the wedding. Unless of course there is a legal impediment to the wedding holding.

MrCrackles:

I am sure they will tag along, afterall they wont want to be left out of the memorable event!

stillwater:

Phuleeaassee!!! Certainly not a good reason. There are poor dedicated members in the church. That's simple logic, maths' not necessary except you have all of a sudden become some kind of supernatural being that monitors church goers.

~Sauron~:

And if they don't like you as their son-in-law??

There are poor dedicated members in the church but if they remain steadfast, they will get their blessings in no time.
Never ever put yourself in the same echelon with a Pastor. They are God-ordained.
Their blessings are fast-tracked while God waits on Sister Comfort to stop fellating on every cute brother in the church.
When i was still in Nigeria. . . . .There was this usher who steals from God every sunday. . . .Do u really expect God not to short-change him??
Come on. . . .do some maths.

stillwater:

What's with you and sister Comfort? I've already stated my piece. I don't have energy to go on and on, ok?

why was it cancelled?

Busy_body:

I wouldn't allow my parents or my pastor to cancel my wedding, are they on crack? Am I a kid? Geez, let me go ahead and make a mistake, they are there to support me and pick up the pieces if I fall 

A friend of mine wanted to get married in December in Nigeria, the grooms parents objected on the ground that friends would not be around and that they should change the wedding date to August The brides parent on the other hand said they worked all year round and could only be available in December

She was always on the phone to me in tears from January till August, till the parents compromised and the wedding was eventually held in New York If that was me, I would have gone to Hollywood to get married by Elvis Presley in a shotgun wedding just to spite them

Nigerian parents meddle too much IMHO

It's a nice move Christ Embassy cancelled your friend's wedding.
She coulda been walking into a death trap marrying someone she met on Hi5.

Is that the only Church in town?
do they have a means of transportation?

The man should grow up

Treetop20:

sounds easy but family pressure is a terrible thing
you never know until you find yourself there

earTHMama:

. . . I agree that marrying mama's boys like Sauron can be a terrible mistake. Don't even dream about it because their mom controls everything to the point of when and how to sleep with you.

I will put my foot down and either tell them there would be no wedding or I would elope. I would not tolerate that type of family pressure, yes they are the ones coughing up the money especially if you are getting married in Naija, but their should be a limit na Undecided I have heard too much stories of squabbling parents when it comes to wedding, due to disagreement with location, religion, etc

Things like this shouldn't happen in this generation

Haba. . . . Stillwater, parent have control over their wards lives now. . .
Maybe . . because we dont have kids yet. . . we might not fully understand the parent-kid connection.
In yoruba land. . . there is an adage that say:
"What elders see while sitting. . . .kids cant even see while on a tree top."
