Good morning Nairalanders,


This goes to intending couples, who are preparing their wedding this month and next month, how has this COVID-19 affected your preparation?

My traditional wedding and white wedding is 17 and 18th of April 2020, but as it stand now, we would have to suspend it pending the time this diseases would stop.

I was even thinking of doing it on a lowkey, but got the shocking of my life this morning when i got a call from my Reved. Fr. that we would have to put an hold to the wedding has directive has been given to stop all church wedding and mass for now.

Every wedding materials have been bought, just to print programme and wait for the day, before this disease became rampant.

We pray that God would lift great scientist up to find lasting solution to this disease.

Life first. You don't want to raise children in this chaos and madness.

Ori won ti o pe yen..

Do church/mosque/traditional marriage and forget about reception

Omo, Na now all those guys wey Dey save siiince for wedding supposed take advantage ohh. The only expensive things you go buy Na bridal wears and groom suits ... them the ring.

No reception... yay!!!

Wey that sista wey Dey disturb me for marriage that year self ...

Hmmmm....my own na May. Planning has been put on hold

You should be thinking, praying and hoping the whole Covid-19 pandemic doesn't run into months or years.

Pray for your family, friends and the whole world to be back to normal. And for scientists to get a cure and vaccine quick

It's only the living that gets married. Why worry about marriage when there is a killer disease out there? Do you want to raise your kids in an abnormal world? Did you spend over 15million naira to prepare for the wedding? If NO, Oga, go and sit down and wait for the whole Coronavirus saga to be fixed before you talk of marriage.

The marriage ceremony will be between the couple family members.

If Church service cannot hold, why not just go to the court and conclude it there? All you need is a couple of witnesses, right?

You will spend less because there will be no reception.

Sheriman:
You had better postpone your wedding

No need, just do palour wedding n livestream to Facebook n case closed

The marriage is more important to you than your life? We are at war, woman!! Brace up!! Leave marriage for now biko

You can still wed, but don't make it a grand wedding oooo

At least, if na for Catholic and Orthodox Churches, you can do MORNING MASS WEDDING, no reception, just few important persons, and every body will go back home with free hand sanitizer and face mask.

Do this and save the stress, thank me later.

crackkhaus:
If not for the fact that these pastors, reverends, and priests love to see themselves as authorities, what stops your priest from joining you and your intended in the presence of only parents and siblings?

This could be done in the church still, or in an open space.

A large gathering of so-called faithfuls/believers serves no purpose beyond fanfare.

There are some pastors out there that would wed on low key.

Na jolly for them na, no over spending...invitees must come with their NCDC accredited result b4 entry

We're talking about how to survive & you're talking about wedding! Take time oo

Any Nigerian who is not Buhari's child, not his relative, not his direct employee and not a direct beneficiary from Buhari, praying for Buhari not to contract coronavirus is a hypocrite pretending to like Buhari or scared that if he or she wishes him dead, that death may come for him or her, but the actual wish of majority of Nigerians is for Buhari and all Nigerian politicians ruling Nigeria from the federal to the state level is for them to contract the virus and die.


This is the wish of all Nigerians but their fear and pretence won't let them say their mind

I for one love humanity

Pastors can join them together in the presence of only parents and siblings. It depends on the couple.

Postpone what? Guy it seems you no ready. Ten frome your side ten from her side find somebody wey no bible gbam.

Please nairalanders should pray for us

Pray for what?

Just doing your wedding, and next day you hear that many people who came for it should self-isolate? How will you now do your honeymoon?

Na person wey dey alive dey wed.

to hide the belle just got harder. ogbeni pack well and marry in ya papa house

They will have an extended opportunity to rethink their wanting to get married to each other. Many will change their minds.

They will give birth to COROBABY �

The fewer guests the better. So much saves on entertainment and other items means less stress/headaches.

It's the best time for ultra low key ceremonies.

The irony of asking God to help science.

what happens? maybe they prefer to die...they can always marry later. Dead people cant marry!!!

I am affected by this too. My marriage is supposed to be on Friday and Saturday. Not sure what to do right now.

Marriage doesn't necessarily has to be a public stuff it can be done privately People just make it big and lavish because of pride

Better organize family wedding . Your both parents n priest . Don't cancel your wedding for any reason .

Leave the greed of pastors out of this.

A thousand and one pastors/churches will be willing and ready to wed people on a low-key.

Intending couples should seize the opportunity and save the funds for better things ahead. Things are changing in Nigeria except our mentality and attitude towards frivolities.

If he no return the money he go use am treat covik 1 9 oh

Shellsploit:
My friends client paid him150k part payment for there wedding cinematography schedule this Saturday. And the agreement states that any deposit made shall be forfeited once there's a change of date.

do you think the intending couples will like this type of marriage?? it's not just about the pastors and priests

Which court?


@OP this is the best time to get married. You haven't spent so much on down payment and upfront, just call both families (parents) and do your thing in bride's family house. Go to registry when civil servants resume fully.
