You're a church go-er.There is a difference between a church go-er and a Christian.
Don't you people always see the contradiction in your arguments?You do not want to recognise the church and it's standards yet you still want to come to the church for your program?It's like a young man who says to hell with university education and yet attacks UTME for not giving him admission.
Not everyone has gotten married in Church and you don't have to.If you say you are married traditionally,then why do you still bother with church?Isn't that an irony?

So after traditional marriage u mean the guy is not yet legally married. Shame on you bro... Shame on you

It means nothing, its not compulsory to wear white.
If Trey Songz want me to marry him with a yellow or even purple gown, will I reject it? Lol

You do not need to go to church for a wedding. Your pastor can as well officiate in your traditional wedding. Church wedding used to be a Western traditional wedding. And it should remain so..


Historically, white wedding gown is a fashion thing. It does not symbolises anything.

Well, am never a fan of Church wedding. Court and Traditional wedding is the best, church wedding is just a waste of time and money.

africans still let churches hold them in bondage.

Ok

If you investigate well now, u go see say na d lady go worry the husband make them do church wedding.

Rubbish talk,
Nobody forced you to get married in the church,
When in Rome, behave like the romans,
You don't expect them to leave you when you just broke one of their rules,
On yellow gown?
If I was in charge I will cancel the wedding,
Since you felt traditional wedding is enough, then why come to the church for white wedding,
If such rules are not set out numerous numbers of women in the church won't keep the flower till the wedding night.

Op just watch or mouth and properly cage it before it cages u

Op just watch ur mouth and properly cage it before it cages u

My friend you are not serious ,the church has a doctrine.you did nt advice ur friend to be care ful.the biblical implication of wearing white is purity,you said it ur self that she is 2weeks preg.now wat it means is dat she is nt pure anymore.pls make research before you publish any thing.the Anglican church is a powerful institution.that cannt be insulted.

The best wedding is traditional marriage. Both parent approval is what matter most.

lol @ church goer, define a church goer?
Marriage is holy and the bed undefiled. Please define marriage?

In the new testament, most of the epistles of Apostle Paul were inspired by the holy spirit, beyond that he admitted that some other instructions are based on what he thinks is appropriate which has an atom of human (imperfect) content.

You better pray for the gift of revelation of the word of God. People like you open churches and enslave people with wrong doctrines.

Ok Bye

please if you want to attack do that with some portions of the bible. As far as am corncen white wedding is irrelevant and is just a way of bringing down our tradition by Westerners

It's not compulsory to have a church wedding and if you must, please obey the scriptures in totality. Remove not the ancient landmark, which your fathers have set. Holiness within and without!

Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. - Heb. 13:4

Nevertheless, God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity". - 2 Tim 2:19

Shalom!

So you are a Christian? I see, so Christian can you please show me where it's written in the bible that without white wedding u ain't married? white people carry culture come una embrace am sotele una even perfect am.

White is supposed to signify sexual purity - if we're to keep 100 most of these girls should be made to wear brown dress.

When is the "wedding night"?
After both parents have given their blessings and the marriage rites completed or
After the priest in the church says so?
Your type is the reason why Christ said in Mark 2:27
King James Bible
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

Neither will my wife put on a white wedding gown if she ain't a VIRGIN.

At 1st were was is stated in bible that Church wedding is a must beside my parent never borrow the western culture called church / white wedding and both were able to scale though till date....

Thunderstorms for these useless mentality that has find their way to our culture.....

I Rep Traditional Marriage & Bride Price Payment Institute....

I Rep Blooded Edo Man....

eyeview:
I believe every institution has rules governing it and if you want to be part of that institution,then play by its rules. Simple.
And if you are not ready,you are very free to walk away and use the services of another institution.
But you can't be in an establishment and want them to follow your own rules.
Selah.

I am not an Anglican but a staunch Catholic but I can't allow biased in my assessment of this issue. In all these churches that have strong tradition, all these colors have symbolic meaning. I won't start saying all the meanings of each but as for WHITE the symbolism is PURITY. Now if a lady or a man has defiled him or herself and it's known, then other colors can be used except white. For example pregnant women. Just that recently we seem to allow secularism to infiltrate the church robbing us of these core values.

wearing a white gown on wedding day has nothing to do with christianity.

NobleAngell:
No excuse for immortality but also both parties should bare the punishment. She didn't get herself preggy. And asking her to put on a black wedding dress is craaaaaayyyyyzi.

Guess u meant immorality.

When church never finish

OP is a church go-er,
sex before marriage is adultery, adultery is a sin, and the worse case is you want to get married in church and got your bride pregnant.
should be punished so as to caution others.

and you don't have to get married in the church if you can't abide to God's law.

Vince77:

Nope, the colour white symbolises purity however the history of white wedding goes thus:

The tradition of a white wedding dress is commonly credited to Queen Victoria's choice to wear a white court dress at her wedding to Prince Albert in 1840. Debutantes had long been required to wear white court dresses for their first presentation at court, at a "Drawing Room" where they were introduced to the queen for the first time.

Royal brides before Victoria did not typically wear white, instead choosing "heavy brocaded gowns embroidered with white and silver thread," with red being a particularly popular colour in Western Europe more generally. European and American brides had been wearing a plethora of colours, including blue, yellow, and practical colours like black, brown, or gray. As accounts of Victoria's wedding spread across the Atlantic and throughout Europe, elites followed her lead.

Jamean:


Now, what is fornication?


The church is going too extreme, and the moment a thin line isn't drawn we move from reverence to Idolatry.

Believers should add knowledge to their zeal.

Hmmm....from reverence . ....trying to follow the God inspired rules of the Bible........to idolatry.... trying to follow the man made rules/doctrine of the church but still hoping to reach Heaven! Very well said Bro.

RoyalBlak007:

they just.....

couldnt wait till "wedding night"

You no hear say dem don already do traditional?

Jamean:


Now, what is fornication?
Sexual intercourse between a man and woman who are not married to each other.

Are the couple above married? Yes they are, in fact very married by the virtue of their traditional wedding 2 months ago.

What is right and what is wrong?

Church wedding is not written anywhere in the Bible, it's only a western culture that is fastly becoming Christian doctrine and binding people in extremism.

The wedding at Cana in the Bible was a traditional wedding, that of Jacob to Leah and later Rebecca were also traditional weddings et al. What is the aim? to honor the family of the bride as she is not Oduduwa that came from the sky neither did the Pastor or Priest give birth to her.

You can go inquire from the holy spirit, the moment a man pays a woman's dowry and fulfill all other requirements as stated by tradition or family the law against fornication is suspended in the spiritual realm for them.

As much as I am a Christian and believer, I frown at the fact that the church still considers a couple who has done only traditional marriage as not befitting to have sex. I have seen a couple wait for 5years after traditional wedding and leaving apart because they couldn't afford church wedding yet. I beg to differ; aren't they married.

I don't believe there's any negative consequence of not doing church wedding as I believe it's only to honor religion and for proper Christian home building counseling prior to the wedding. It's worse that these days they now add Sunday for thanksgiving.

1 Cor 10:23 All things are lawful [that is, morally legitimate, permissible], but not all things are beneficial or
advantageous. What is the benefit of Church wedding as you can still be counseled without ceremony?

The church is going too extreme, and the moment a thin line isn't drawn we move from reverence to Idolatry.

Believers should add knowledge to their zeal.
