She bends down to pee makes you better or smarter, people like you simply irritate me. If you learnt your history well, you would know Nigeria was colonized by the British and as such it is only natural that a few of their customs rubbed off on us. Only a poverty stricken individual such as yourself wouldn't admit how beautiful the white wedding event is and the fact that it is worth adopting. Shove that up you ass, you chauvinistic psychopath

you're beneath me, I can't talk with you. Have a good evening

In a bid to sound enlightened, you ended up sounding stupid.

Please show me where in the scriptures "white wedding" was mentioned or where they did any of the sort.

In fact did the early Christians do 2 weddings?

You said everyone that commented before you lack common sense when the reverse is the case.

Better be thought a fool and keep shut than to speak and clear all doubts (Obasanjo et al, 1600) undecided undecided

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.
Nigerian girls are really foolish. So to you when a guy don’t wanna spend it means he is broke right? I pity the guy that will marry your type. The babe that tried that shit (calling me broke) cos I refuse to spend reckless was dump and the she called real man is no way near my level. The guy self tire leave her

Op is it the lack of money that is your problem or the fact that white wedding belongs to the white people,which is also a form of their traditional wedding we are all coping sad Instead we should stick to our own traditional wedding as the only wedding....? undecided



So sorry, white wedding has come to stay fortunately in Africa, and funny enough most men going against white wedding will end up doing white wedding when love cover their eyes, and end up spending so much money. Its an orientation that has long exited and will continue.



Just pray for excess money in your life,all these talk will not be important when you have so much money.


Ask Mrs Alakija Son that recently got married, ask how much was spent on his white wedding. cheesy grin smiley

Tbh, nobody gives a Bleep about your personal life

I’ didn’t tell you I’m a Christian, neither did I tell you I’m straight or interested in marrying you niggas. Your sentiments are blocking you from even thinking. Christianity has always been a white man’s religion. What they practice, y’all practice. If you’re claiming “African tradition” then drop the religion as a whole.

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.


So how far has the so called blessings helped given the rising rate of divorce.


How can a total stranger be the one give blessings to your child's marriage? What happened to the parent's blessings?

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.

My dear bringing ezemmuo or chief priest to bless you and your bride should have nothing to do with your marriage except you're a traditional worshipper.

Always had the same line of thought too.

A court or registry will suffice for official registration of the marriage according to the laws of the federal republic of Nigeria aside that all the buhaha around white weddings is unnecessary. Some pastors will even start acting like demi gods ontop their member's wedding because say na you get church. Mteeeew.

Toks2008:
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

It is unfortunate that it has almost become a cultural norm to follow this pattern especially the Christian culture in our country. You hear many people say "if I never marry for church then I never marry be that", with that kind of mentality they will always do the double. In my case I did triple (Trad, White, Registry) but of course back then I believed in the whole shtick. If I had to do it again, I'd do registry and that would be it.
