To think that some Pastors preach that until you do a white wedding also known as "Church wedding".. You are not considered married...

I call this foolishness that has no basis in our tradition as Africans or even in the Scriptures.

I will advise any man to focus on the traditional wedding and go ahead to register the wedding if they want but if the lady insists on having a white wedding, let her take care of the entire financial demands except you have enough money to throw away.

May we be emancipated from mental slavery

He made me realize that “White Wedding” is the European traditional marriage and made me see how we Africans lavish so much money for European Traditional Marriage. (White Wedding)

Waste of money & resources indeed. Very few have the courage & determination to defy societal pressure & go against existing norm.
Traditional marriage +blessing by a clergy should suffice.

You are right. It's a waste of fund and drawing unnecessary attention to oneself. Only pastors and and event planners benefits. You the celebrant don't really gain anything unless you are from elites family.

Is it common sense y’all lack? If you call yourself a Christian, you have to do white weddings. What does that have to do with traditions?

If you’re going to reject some parts of the religion, might as well reject the whole and be free.

86.57% of Nigerian ladies will not agree with you... They believe that if the pastor has not performed the spiritual blessing of the rings, then the marriage is not complete and “Blessed” by God.

The people who made the religion are the same people who made the rule. It’s now you want to do, “let’s not follow the white man”.

It’s not everything in the “scripture” that’s practiced, the same way it’s not every y’all practice today that’s in the scripture. It’s still a part of the religion regardless.

I would have kept mum if i were you rather than posting this.

See i am not against any lady desiring a white wedding. Just leave somebody's son out of the expenses. If you want, use your money.

You claim it’s because white weddings are not a part of the religion when really you’re just broke, and I’m the one to be mute? Don’t start arguments you cannot defend. Have a wonderful day.

Kilagbe kileju? Does it not even bother you that you are reasoning this way?

Where is the argument? The write up is as clear as crystal. White wedding is a waste of time AND MONEY regardless whether the guy is broke or not.

So the best thing any reasonable lady who is not a liability or leech should do is let go of the option and focus on the traditional wedding and if she must have the white wedding, she simply takes care of the financial implications.

It is total witchcraft to reason otherwise.

I know lots and lots of people these days who don't bother with white wedding. Many of them see it as a waste of money. They just go to the priest or pastor and exchange vows quietly.

you have time to be arguing with a woman, who bends down to pee. These people are beneath us. Just read her comment, smile, because it is irrelevant, they are not the one paying the bride price or heading the family. Only reply your fellow men, the only thing they know is to insult and good in the other room.

White wedding isn't the problem ,Nigerians oversabi is the problem.
Study how an average white man performs his white wedding and compare it with what Nigerians desire and you'll notice where the fault is.
Copy copy sprinkled with a touch of oversabi

There a line between African tradition and the white man's tradition. Both are distinct in their own ways and should be respected. I for once will prefer Africans stick to African tradition which is the traditional marriage, bring a priest or ezemmuo to bless ur marriage and u rock ur wedding band. Let the white man have it his own way.
