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.

Anytime i see your writeup its always mindblowing and intelligent,keep it up

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.

No sex before marriage is good but honestly it is outdated to not understand your partners sexuality before marriage.

Stop promoting fornication
It is not compulsory to get married in church.Noone will force you to.If you decide to get married in church then you ought to do the right thing.You ought to know (and should know) that pregnancy is not allowed so why bring the pregnancy there?
Have you traditional marriage and go to the registry,chikena..

Alejhandro:


Guess u meant immorality.

Phaytte:


The law of marriage God gave us is for you to pay Dowry,trad marriage is where you pay dowry, Church wedding is just blessiing of the marriage... If not for the formality and party involved,I for no gree dO white wedding

Oops that was a typo error. Lemme modify it.

You wear yellow, pink, or green grown..it does nt matter.the most important thing is they joined them as man and wife..which is cool enough.my church will ask you to go for deliverance,if they even know you people gbenshed before wedding sef...to me it's nt discrimination..no biggie abt white gown..

Phaytte:


You no hear say dem don already do traditional?

blackpanda:
This is the norm in orthodox churches and has been going on for centuries!
Since u guys say u must marry in church, then dont complain. The church didnt force u.

I dont support the humiliation, but there are many other options to getting married. You can even get married in your house with a JP officiating. To hell with all the hypocrite nonsense!

Alejhandro:


Tot as much. Can imagine how just a letter 't' changes everything. Little things definitely matters and thanks for reminding me again thru dis.

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?

Bigcake:
Gown na gown, whether blue, pink or green. sheer una want follow follow oyigbo. wetin happen to traditional marriage?

Some ladies won't mind committing abortion so as the church shd wed them,especially when it concerns my parents are officials in the church as they don't want to disappoint their parents. I think churches shd look into this very well, if they had done trad months ago,they shd be allowed to wed. I met a lady while serving and she did her trad wedding months b4 she went for service and lots of us were lyk u r wearing a ring and we saw lots of her trad pix, then why claiming single? She said she is not married until after white wedding...lol. so y do trad wedding if u say that u r nt married. In my place after ur trad wedding,some of ur family members and siblings and friends will follow u to ur husband's family compound to cook and make merry and stay for some days with u as per we don bring new wife come una compound oo, I can't imagine after all those merriment and celebration,i will now pack my load and go back to my papa house as per I am not married till after white wedding,
The economy is very harsh, registry is another option bt some churches will stil say it wasn't done in the presence of the lord. Meanwhile most of the trad dt I ve attended sef,the kin prayer them dey pay that day go be lyk say na vigil I dey,

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.

agwunchauc:
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

daretodiffer:


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.
