My thoughts though, just wondering why church wedding has being made mandatory to new couples, Some elders told me it’s a white man's belief, that the most important is the dowry paid to the parents of the girl and the traditional, then to legally show or proof you are married, the court wedding comes in whereby you are handed the certificate of marriage.

So why the craze for the white wedding? Educate me, I am open to learning.

Modern day wedding ceremonies have become one big scam, but in the past it wasn't like this . Nowadays , Nigerian couples have to go through three awful stages of wedding rituals just to be recognized by God, men and the state. This is not good, and it is unhealthy because after the wedding , the couples are left in complete poverty and want.


However, if you have the money (and you don't want to offend your in laws) just do all three rituals . But if you don't have the money , just settle for a simple church wedding with two or three witnesses .

God sanctioned none of your wedding and ceremonies in His Law.... traditional rituals, Court rituals, church rituals etc., have absolutely nothing to do with what God commands but instead the traditions and ways of men. undecided

When it comes to marriage, God left it simple for us - Genesis 2 vs 24 & Matthew 19 vs 3 - 5 & Mark 10 vs 5 - 9. That is marriage as far as God is concerned. undecided

If you Claim to Believe in JESUS Christ! It is.

GOD is a GOD of Order.
The Church is the Body of Christ and JESUS Christ is the Head of the Church.
GOD ALMIGHTY is the Institutor of the Marriage Institution. In Ephesians, HE likened the Love a Man should have for His wife to that HE has for the Church.
The Church is the representative of Christ on Earth.
If you claim to Believe in JESUS Christ, it is Very Important to for you to be joined by His body.

Traditional/Engagement is the main thing... That's our own culture...
Court wedding is important as well so the law recognise you and your partner as legally married...

Church wedding is just because you are a Christian by religion and you want to catch cruise most especially for females... It's not as valid as the Engagement and the court wedding...
My Opinion!

The White weddding is simply the traditional marriage of the white man. In a typical White weddding, the bride's father leads the bride to the groom who is standing alone at the alter. He hands over the bride to the groom there at the alter.

NO! The so called church wedding is another man's tradition. Once you have done the payment of bride price and the necessary rites, a marriage has been performed. Then add the legal backing by going to the marriage registry.

Church wedding in Africa is for the intellectually-deprived individuals who duel on the actual instead of the ideal. The actual is the attention, pride, sense of obligation precipitated by the females on their naive male partners.

But the ideal marriage for Africans is the one recognisable by both families of intending couples, and witnessed by whosoever wishes to felicitate with them.

African man is not a deep thinker. He only does whatever is obtainable in his engrave and will not only die in such ignorance, but will pass it to his children and the vicious circle continues ad infinitum.

Church wedding and white wedding are not the same thing.

White wedding = social event after church wedding

Church wedding got nothing to do with Christianity. Biblically accepted marriage is the traditional. It is a white man's tradition imported into the church and some Christians embraced it

I agree with what Kobo said up there.. Whether white wedding, traditional wedding or court marriage, it's all the traditions of men..

Marriage simply is the union between 2 people. #Period
