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.
Have you come across white wedding anywhere in the Bible? Even the 1st century Christians didn't marry in a church. There were traditional Jewish weddings

If you still cut your hair low then you’re prone to celebrating white weddings. The white men came and erased our culture. I learned long ago that traditional weddings were the ideal.

TheOldGods:
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.
I wonder where some of you acquire the school of thought that women are beneath men. Women are simply different from men biologically and physically to an extension; yet, they are equal to men. Every human being, regardless of gender, age, race, and status, is equal and unique. Differences in this regard don't mean unequalness.

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
I don't know if by white wedding you mean church wedding.

For a Christian, it is extremely important to be wedded in the presence of God's children and with Christian principles.

Before God, traditional wedding is also very VALID as long as it is the last marriage rite for the wedding.

is over my head,
but one thing i'm sure is that traditional marriage is the ideal one.
nothing can take away that
genuine blessings your parents and in-laws will give you on your traditional marriage rites.

Even the wedding Jesus performed miracle was never said to be white or even traditional.. Please just do what you believe in and leave others to do theirs.
The wedding Jesus attended was a purely traditional wedding. There was no other kinda wedding then bro.. just as there is no other kinda wedding now. You wed according to your native customary practices. What retard3d people can't get into their heads is that the so called white wedding is the European's traditional wedding.

My dear that religion you are talking about is someone else tradition,get sense. Christians are waiting for Jesus to come soon, who are the muslims waiting for? Or are they the anti christ rubbish. I'm anti christ too because I don't talk about christ.

You suppose get sense before you write anything
Re: This Is Why I See White Wedding As A Waste Of Time And Money In Africa. by themanderon: 9:17am On Oct 29, 2021
True. Marriage is simply an agreement of the two partners and their families. Every other ceremonies is just a formalization of the entire process. That's why no right thinking Church can wed a couple without the parents consent. This is done to avoid future problems.

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.
NO ma! please, an atheist i find it very offensive that you would lie against the holy spirit. The jews never practised any white wedding. No where in the bible does it suggest that a white wedding was that of christians. No where!

Exactly. I'm really confused with what everyone is writing. From what I know, white weddings don't cost much. Unless you decide to spend.

You don't even have to wear an expensive wedding gown. A long white dress will do.

I think their problem is actually the reception which isn't even part of the white wedding.
Yes ma..

Their issue is the reception..

And of course, anybody with any offence has a way of shifting the blame on GOD or His Church..

So how does wearing a suit and white gown validate your being a Christian?
Please what part of your Christianity or Christian teaching according to God or Jesus says you must do a white man's type of wedding after doing the wedding according to your tribe and culture?

Okay let us see how your common sense works. I will transfer N20k to you if you can prove this according to the words of God or Jesus. You have till 12pm today to prove this.

I have said it over and over that I won't do white wedding or whatever they call it. .....Traditional marriage is enough for me. If she insist I can invite a pastor over to bless us in the village or we meet him privately in church to bless us. I am not that religious.

The “Church Wedding” itself don't cost much., And that's the main ingredient of the whole “church wedding” stuff..
It's the reception that is costly., And receptions are not necessary.
And that's even the part most ladies (and most people) love to see.

I gave up on that shit called white wedding the day my boss, with no car and living in room & parlor self con, calculated more than #2m as money being spent for his wedding. That couple still lives in a rented apartment and has no car till now, imagine what #2m can do for a family.
Slave trade mentality. I won't give myself to any culture that is not consistent with my belive system

Some of the problems we face in Nigeria today is because some of the Nigerians that went early to foreign countries felt intimidated and developed low self-esteem and brought these strange foreign ideas home to the gullible uneducated ones.
