A Nigerian Photographer has expressed her views on church wedding, in her words

"Church wedding is not compulsory ooo. It's fine if you do it if you love the glamour and the whole experience of a church wedding. It is not a sin to do church wedding. In fact, it is an opportunity to have your brother's and sisters in church celebrate a great day in your life.

Now, it is also not a sin to not do church wedding. It was not commanded by God. No Apostle mentioned it. Jesus did not recommended it. It's just one of those things the church decided to start doing.
It means that if you do not like the drama around Church weddings, you may opt out. If you do not have the financial strength, you may drop it. Don't make life harder on yourself.

That established, the bible fully acknowledges a marriage between a man and his wife in the presence of family, friends and well wishers. The pastor may be invited to join them and pray for them. Also, the marriage needs to be registered at the Registry with the government and that's all to give it legal backing.

Don't kill yourself over what God did not send you. Do what you can do and move on. What the Bible disapproves is cohabitation and sexual relations outside marriage."

What do you guys think?

Correct

100%

Nice piece

I see some sense in what she says

Nice..

Not only that it is not compulsory, it is in fact USELESS. It is copied, a duplication and a function of inferiority complex.
We have traditional marriage recognised by God, the law and even the bible. All marriages the bible made reference to are traditional weddings. Then some folks came and said we must wear suits and some useless gowns to the church before God approves our marriages. What a dumb thing.

We have known since time immemorial

True talk but I would love to do mine.

Fact..


Most of us believe that every christian should go to church before they have a successful marriage. Most of those water bellied pastor self didn't do wedding. 80% of them impregnated themselves before they became pastor and till now their marriage is ok.

But if you are confused... Ask your pastor, I mean a responsible pastor

True talk

Church Weddings are just overblown and these days there is a sort of discrimination over those who don't do it. And so I ask what power does the Church have over your personal business?!

A marriage is a union of 2 people which then involves the full Family. How is that a church's business? Smh. And some Nairalanders here, out of fear and ignorance of course, greatly support the fact that your wedding must be contracted in a church to gain legality.

Church Wedding is only a creation of old European peoples. Nothing more. Meanwhile the marriages recognised in the Bible are traditional and court marriage. So which would you rather?

naso. see as people go support am

Nice one.My babe no let me hear word because of church wedding.

You are right bro......most marriages suffer after wedding because of the church and reception expenses and after a day's wedding, there comes the suffer in the real marriage after everybody wey come chop free food without dropping anything done waka go

Ellabae:
True talk but I would love to do mine.

OK, if you're ready let me know

Sure now

Yeah, sure.

traditional marriage is compulsory?

Definitely, it isn't. The only reason I will do one is because of my wife and parents. If not, it would have been from traditional to reception. She'll wear a gown, I'll wear a suit. We'll dance, eat and off we go

it's her own point of view, but I will surely do mine

very correct..but most 9ja girls want to slay on their weeding gown

The most important thing is have your marriage certificate


If you are married but you don't have a marriage certificate ..legal backing

My dear you aren't married but living in union



Just like claiming a graduate no certificate to show
