She was Absolutely right! That is How it is meant to be.

Except you wanna Deceive yourself,You cannot Profess JESUS Christ and leave that out.
Culture cannot substitute the Place of the Church.
We are Belivers in Christ and until you are wedded before the Body of Christ you don't have a Complete Marriage.

That is Exactly what happened for my sisters.

These things are known right from the introduction.

That vows before God is the most important after bride price, so you are only fully and truly married after church wedding
You think God in His Omni potence is not present and doesn't give his blessings in the traditional marriage between two people whose parents have already blessed the marriage.

It depends on how they sync up with their faith. If her believe of the bed undefiled implies until the vows are shared before God and the congregation as a witness, she has every right not to move in after traditional.

Both parties have a right to define what they want and how they want it.
when traditional rite are performed in the sight of God one is married cos the parents have given their blessings

Whatever works for the couple ooo.


for me, I have never been a fan of church wedding, I only wanted to trad wedding, do court and go home and rest.

So, after trad wedding, I told my hubby "Oya oooo Let's go". my sister brought my bags, I entered car, and off to my husband's house and village.

The thing is Couples should always do what works for them.

As a Christian after your traditional marriage it is important that you do the church aspect of it. Since you are a Christian it is important that the church blessing rest upon your marriage.
Note before; I am not concerned about those ceremony that involve spending. Do your traditional marriage, take your ring to your church, let the pastor or Rev bless both of you and go home. No be by force to pay for hall and cook food. That is where people are getting Church marriage wrong. They only equate Church marriage to spending by doing all those things. If you have money for gown, wear your gone and the main his suit then go and bless your union and it ends there.
The Pastor/Rev can also bless the couple at the traditional wedding. Even Jeeus attended a traditional wedding and performed miracle there.

The problem we have is that we don't believe in our self just because its called church wedding does not mean is going to happen in a church, during the traditional wedding pastors are also invited and they make prayer is that not enough for church wedding?
This is what I could afford as a struggling guy (I also didn't "bang" her till her bags moved to my newly rented apartment), 12Years down the line & we r still waxing strong.......we are Africans not Whites!!!

This post is for intending grooms.

I made this post because it was one of the major reasons I parted with my ex(it was a serious relationship) few years ago, then I wasn't financially stable as I am now, so my decision was inline with my capability then. She told me she won't move in with me unless I do church wedding even after the trad. and she was serious about it. She wasn't ready to reason with me.

Considering the fact that majority of the men( those within the marriageable age range and above but are not financially stable enough to run everything at once) have the plan of doing the white wedding first, later on do the church wedding when they are more financially stable.

This led me to running a check recently and I find out that in some homes or families, they don't allow their daughters to move in with their husbands even after the men have paid their bride prices, until the church(or white) wedding has been done.

Dear single men, what do you think about this?
Can you cope with it until you're ready for your church wedding?

To the married ones, did you experience this?
How were you able to handle it?

MODs, please do the needful.
do your court wedding after the trad and she will agree to go home with you.

Lol, I for ask them "why are they holding a man's wife hostage"?

but, my parents cant have contrary view because (1). I have liberal minded parents.
(2). in my village, once your dowry is paid, you are married and must follow your husband and his people to their village that day. if you reach there, you can choose to sleep on different rooms cause of your religions, that one no cause your parents. your parents own is that your leg must touch your husband's village once your dowry is paid.

Iyaebe, what is church wedding? is the Pastor the one handing over the bride or the father? when Jacob wanted to marry, he was given a set of conditions by the bride's father. after Jacob fulfilled these conditions, the bride was handed over to him. no church. na eye service una dey do this days. it is of no importance. even in the bible when Christ changed water to wine at the wedding, it was not in a church/synagogue but in the bride father's house. marriage begins when the bride's father accepts the dowry or whatever and hands over his daughter to the groom. every other activity na scam

Just another thread to bash women. If you can't take her terms just bounce don't be bitter about it.. Sometimes men we have this skewed mentality that everything is about us.
Re: Will You Allow Her To Stay With Her Parents, After Trad Without Church Wedding? by MyExpression(m): 12:10am On Nov 14, 2021
As Christians, let's use the bible as our guide.

The wedding at Cana was not done at the synagogue. Twas probably at the Palace or townhall.
Isaacs, Jacob, Moses, David, Samson.....none of them married in the temple before any priest, despite their closeness to God!
Where the hell did we learn this practice fromhuh

If you want the wedding to be sealed by God, invite your pastor over, or let both parents bless the marriage in the name of Jesus, and not in d name of amadioha.

Case closed!

I used to have the belief that you are not somebody's wife until after the white wedding until...

My fiance and I got an apartment. Then we did the trad wedding. It was big and loud. I didn't pack anything afterwards. I was waiting for the white wedding. But after the party, my mum chased me away and said I no longer have a space in her house. I hurriedly packed my things. l came back later for the rest. Funny but that was how hubby and I were living together until we did our court and white wedding. Those weren't even as loud as the traditional wedding.

I learnt my lesson. Once he has paid the dowry and fulfilled other traditional conditions, he's your husband, you're his wife.

What kind of a factory-fitted slowpoke will do traditional and church wedding? If Nigeria were to be a serious nation, she should have petitioned that her traditional marriage be recognized everywhere.

If your story is real my advice is that you can do the two the same day. One reception will save you the cost of the other.

White wedding is the traditional marriage of the white man. But as a Christian, ''church'' wedding is to add the God factor to the marriage.

This is a dumb opinion. The traditional marriage ceremony is the Number one ceremony in the whole world. In places like Russia where some people don't believe in God, they still carry out the traditional ceremony.

The problem is that your religion, "Church, Mosque" once you stop going there, you will never have a problem in your life.

You marry according to your very own tradition but that isn’t marriage until you marry according to the white man’s tradition before you consider yourself “married”.

Chai! It won’t be well with the person who did this to the black man!

Even during Jesus’ time, Jews married according to their tradition. Did Jesus say he would not turn water into wine or even attend the wedding because the couple didn’t get married in a church? There was even no church at that time, yet they got married. There is even no biblical backing to your claim. Jesus, said “Leave mother and father and cling to his wife”. Not “get married in a church”. Church wedding is white people’s tradition.

There was no church wedding in the bible. Only traditional wedding; the traditional wedding of the Jews. Jesus attended a Jewish traditional wedding and turned water into wine. He even said “A man shall leave his father and mother and cling to his wife”, not “take her to church and marry her there”. Chai! When Africans go get sense enn?!

I know the bible talks about consummation of the marriage, which is, doing all the necessary things you need to do, including paying of bride price.

To me, that means God already recoginizes her as your wife the day you pay her bride price. The so-called white wedding or church wedding is just to follow the band wagon.

God is present in Traditional marriage, call on Him and He will be there. As long as the parents of woman give their consent, then you are husband and wife in a traditional marriage.
