He's right. Business people (like makeup artist, photographer, event planner, decorator, etc) only made a merchandise of the whole thing to f00l intending couples and leave them broke or poorer.

We all will get sense post-Covid. People are still getting married despite the inactivity of these business people. With an extra fee of 25-30k, you can invite the registry/magistrate people to come and join you both in your home. Pay your dowry and zoom off!


"It's your day, make it memorable bla bla bla", they all say, but none of them will tell you that marriage is a journey. How do you start celebrating a journey you haven't even began so badly that you have to go broke or poorer in the process??

doitforyou:
Personally, the ‘real’ marriage for me is a civil one not traditional or religious. However, I am not going to begrudge or judge Christians on how they wish to practice their faith.

For those citing Jesus at a wedding, Christianity didn’t exist then, Jesus participated in Jewish customs and attended a wedding ceremony that was probably Jewish.

Each religion have their way of joining two couples and those that practice said faith should be allowed to follow such practices without judgement.

I know for Catholics, a priest blessing your marriage is important, it’s one of the sacraments a Catholic observes while they’re on earth, the last one is death.

Edit:
I erroneously included last rites as one of the seven sacraments.

Aksnoopy:
Blessing spoken unto a couple by pastors isn't superior to that from the parents nor the couple theirselve. Gone are the days of Adam, Christ Has risen!

Nuzo1:
Not totally true sir.

Any marriage without the acknowledgement by the government is null and void in the face of man and God.

Most of the weddings done at home and even the church don't have permits from the government. As far as God and man is concerned, that marriage does not exist.

People don't know that the marriage certificate the church gives couple on their wedding day is authorized by the government. If any church doesn't have such permit, they are wasting their time.

In summary, whether you wed in church or in your bedroom... If the government is not aware; you are wasting your time.

Not true. Some guys see a lady that is trying to work hard, they become intimidated. The story turns to "I dont have, she has". I dont think it can work. There is more to being married than just attitude.

If only you understood the diff between
ALL, MANY & SOME

Sir, can you please give us any scripture text where a pastor, priest or Bishop blessed a marriage before it became valid? I really would want to learn that from you.
Thanks in advance.

My Bbrother, Hhere is my point!

GOD Almighty as our Heavenly Most High Priest pronounced Bblessings on Adam and Eve.

When Abramham came back from back from the slaughter of the 5 kings and Rrecovery of Jos brothers son lot, Hhe approached Melchizedek who the Bible calls the priest of the most High and Hhe Bblessed Abramham.

GOD Almighty personally Oordered that the Levites are responsible for specific duties pertaining to Wworship , and things of GOD. It's a Sspecific office!

In today Wworld, when people have issues and challenges, they make effort to see a Mman of GOD or someone they believe is that office..

Now, Bblessings from your parents is wonderful, Aawesome, good..

But also Eensure you Gget the Bblessings and Ppronouncements of a GENUIE Sservant of GOD..

It's important!

He is partially correct.All the European aspects correct.But a pastor must be there as God's representative.You cannot get all God expects us to do verbatim in the Bible but the Holy Spirit is a guide.The Bible is complete,dont misunderstand me.Where is it in the Bible that we should go to school,to brush our teeth, etc Which naming ceremony is in the Bible where you have a pastor there.All the names given to Jacobs children were by his wives.So certain.cultural practicea are okau if it does not contradict the Bible.
Yes.White wedding not in the Bible but.not a sin.Does Omokri know that a wife being a virgin is also a criterior in the Bible?If someone is not a virgin and has repented, her wedding is holy and biblical.The same goes to the man.Some of these things are not important issue.The main issue is fear God,work in holiness and please the Lord.Matt.6:33

God already blessed marriage. A pastor being there on your wedding day is useless and has nothing to do with God.

Note: God's blessings on marriage applies to all marriages, not some.

doitforyou:

What is a Christian wedding? What’s the difference between a Christian wedding and a non-Christian wedding?

Most Christian weddings start from the pre-marriage counseling, it’s an important part of a Christian wedding, where bible studies and verses that serve as a guideline for a Christian marriage is taught and shared. It prepares the couple for a Christian marriage.

Yes a pastor is human but he/she is still a minister in charge of a Christian congregation. Christians go to them to minster/teach/guide/mentor the word of God. A pastor also provides spiritual leadership, not ALL parents can fulfill that role.

A Christian wedding is much more than just a blessing of the couple. It’s also a service where the congregation and the couple are ministered to and there’s exchange of vows reaffirming the promises that make a Christian marriage. Some people have special relationships with their pastor and a pastor or a spiritual leader play significant roles in some people’s lives.

I’ve noticed most people are more against the Western culture of a Christian wedding and the cost, not a Christian wedding. You can have a Christian wedding with your African Customs, you can literally get married in front of your pastor say bible verses, profess your love and say your vows in front of friends and family in your iro and buba, no wedding party, no reception, make up artist, photographs etc.

A Christian wedding is the joining of a couple in a church ceremony (service, mass etc), the same ceremony you participate in every Sunday because you’re a Christian. We don’t have to change the definition because we don’t like the modern day commercialization of a ‘white’ wedding.

For those saying no reference of a wedding in the Bible yada yada yada yet you attend church ceremonies of your different denominations every Sunday, the way your church perform their service is it in the Bible? Why would you criticize a Christian wanting to have a Christian wedding?

Kobojunkie:


Jesus Christ warned you severely against the adopted styles of men...i.e. the doctrines and traditions of men as they only serve to nullify the power and blessings of God in the marriages that result.

Jesus Christ urges us to choose to do all we do God's way, and not man's way, every single time so we can enjoy God's blessings instead of man's which really is nothing.

Read the words of Jesus Christ to learn His truth.

Kobojunkie:


There is no such thing as a Christian wedding.

Jesus Christ never told you how to do weddings, neither did the Almighty God, Ok?

In the eyes of the Almighty everlasting God, what you typed up there amounts to more meaninglessness done in His name, and He does not take kindly to people lying in His name.
