Lavish Weddings: Why Christians Must Never Take Loans To Fund Them

Lavish weddings is a highly misplaced priority by many, including Christians, especially those who can't afford such luxuries.

That's how many of them would borrow so much and spend way beyond their means just to make their weddings a huge spectacle, but after all the fuss of the day, when everyone had gone their separate ways, the couples are left alone to bear the brunt of the expenses made just because of a wedding day for the rest of their marriage life.

Worst still, if the marriage is not able to survive the trying period inflicted upon it at its early stages, by the unwarranted burden carried over from the day of the wedding, but eventually breaks or falls apart as a result of the consequent pressure, by then the foolishness of making the proper marriage suffer just because of one's dream to have a lavish wedding would be beyond glaring, however by then it will be too late to do anything about it.

So it's better to avoid making such costly mistakes of marriage just because of the wedding day.

It's not wise for those about to tie the knot to get ahead of themselves and bite much more than they can chew, trying to impress people beyond their means on their wedding day because that could prove to be the biggest undoing of their marriage life.

God bless.

So do not be deceived by what the world makes of a lavish wedding that takes place in just a day of the couple's life.

What is most important is that after (the day of) their wedding, that their marriage is successful (serves the purpose God intends for the marriage) and lasts as long as they (the couple) remain alive and til death do them part.

That's what matters most to God in any marriage.

Mark 10:4-9 (KJV)

And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

God bless.

There are several high profile marriages that have proven that lavish wedding days doesn't equate to successful marriages as many erroneously think.

I remember a long time ago when arguably the most promising female preacher then, prophetess Juanita Bynum, just got married, and an invited pastor in the church I attended was speaking so favourably about the wedding, also the wedding gown worn by the bride, and asked how many singles in the church would love to have that kind of lavish wedding?

At the time, even though I hadn't yet watched the video of the wedding, I didn't buy the idea of making such a big deal about a lavish wedding especially in the church, when the most important thing is the marriage proper.

My concerns were later vindicated as that marriage proved to be the undoing of the prophetess who I had much respect for at the time. Her marriage (that started with a lavish wedding) didn't last long but ended up in a bitter divorce a few years later, after the preacher herself had received a lot of beating and damaging blows to both her physical and spiritual body from the innocent looking husband who also held the title of a bishop.

Although it's been over a decade ago since that happened, up til now the preacher woman and her ministry have not still shown signs of fully recovering from the trauma and damaging effects of the disaster of a marriage.

We can all also remember the wedding of the century, the royal wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles and how it panned out.

Despite all the glamour and riches displayed by the British empire on that occasion, it couldn't save the marriage from crashing.

So do not be envious of such marriages especially if you don't have the means. Focus mostly on the things that would make the marriage to work and succeed after the wedding day is over, and make God the captain and centre of your marriage.

And it will be hard for your marriage to crash.

God bless.

This op has a dirty and negative mindset...

He has never seen any good in anything God crested always negative

Tell me how many lavished wedding that crash.. and I will give you millions that has lasted beyond your age..

Very careless being that call himself Christian.

Yet filled with demonic statements from his evil soul and will tag it Christian POV. Bible.

Do you know how many lavished wedding Jesus Christ attended on earth?

I pity souls being deceived by this self righteous being

Same being that tried dividing Christianity with his Jesus and Paul gibberish.
Then came online to say God “ told him”

This man need deliverance. That’s the truth.

May God help you

Having a lavish wedding is not a prerequisite for a marriage to crash. Many factors could have been responsible for that and I understand your point op but the premise was wrongly laid. However, one thing I will never do is to borrow or ask for donations in the name of wedding. Everything is going to be within the context of my earning and if my babe is not cool with it then she can fly away. Don't let anyone set you up for failures cause when the chips are down, you will face the consequences alone.

All is vanity crew. Do your big wedding if you have the money and be enjoy your day to the fullest. Forget all these "overighteousness".

No preaching or pastor was mentioned in the wedding but only wine!

Jesus and most of the disciples didn't get married! So where does lavish wedding appear in Christianity?

Big wedding or small wedding it doesn't matter

If you (and family) can afford lavish wedding go for it, if you can't do the one your power carry

So many low key wedding are breaking up so is lavish wedding

True

Don't mind them, any marriage can crash, be it lavish or poor wedding. Glamorising poverty is what I so much detest.

Lol

No need for this advice. After-party experience will do justice.
I don't know what's difficult in paying bride price along with only the close members of your family and go live with your partner ever after.

SensualMan1:
Theres a frienda mine who borrowed this yoruba guy £5k (cos I personally do not associate with yoruba people in UK) dude went home to Osun, did his own big boy owambe party which is not upto 1/10 of any big boy function in Igbo land.
It's over 8 months now the foolish man is yet to pay back, piles of debt on the foolish man left right centre and of recent he's in jail because of identity theft and his beloved wife back in Osun is feeding hand to mouth.

This is where I give out to Igbo guys, every Igbo man that spends 100 million for a social function already has x10 of that amount sitting in his account.

Igbo people's way of life, culture, businesses needs to be studied by other tribes to really do well in life.

Why bringing in tribe...?
