I do know(not believe) that there is a supreme being whom my people call Chukwu and our Afurakan Gods and ancestors act as intercessors between us and Chukwu who is distant.

People should deal with the message and not the packaging

Hi.

I will pick the traditional wedding only anyday, that is what i did, the White wedding is a jamboree, and it is just for showmanship, it is a public display of wealth and to show that your friends that you are married, Truth is both ceremonies are mere symbolism of being married, our foefathers didn't get married in church, and the traditional weddings we see today is been distorted for public display as well,

Adam and Eve did not get married in church and there were no ceremonies, till years later, yet they had kids, I want everyone to realise that everything we have today in societies the world over, evolved over time, they were man made and they became acceptable norms and traditions of the various societies the world over, even the language we speak,

Bottom line here is that NOBODY should be pressurised to get married in church or in the village, if you (both couples) feel that the Registry is best for you,please go ahead and do it Even if it means you have only one witness
no one can claim that you are not married, and you can save your money for training your kids and looking after your home,

I didn't mean to lecture here, but i am very passionate about this topic, and it grieves me to see people suffer because they want to be like the Dangotes, Obasanjo and the Burbank's, PLEASE BE YOURSELF,

I am happily married (traditional) with two kids,

I think it is up to the couple. If it is important for them to have both, they can have both.

Wedding is imported culture. It is a mere ceremony. Customary marriage is the ideal marriage established by God in Africa. The white people were able to tactically incorporate their culture into christianity. We are confuse here in Nigeria. Without customary marriage, you are not married.

well for me both are important. when you perform the traditional marriage it means you respect your tradition and performing the white wedding is like inviting God to your marriage because without Him the whole thing'll just flop.
so God's presence is nut in d traditional marriage

If you are looking for a beautiful bride who is willing to commit to a lifelong marriage, consider a ukrainian brides. These women are known to be well educated and have multiple talents. They are often good at math and science, and enjoy a diverse range of hobbies and interests. Some women are avid cyclists or skiers, or even lovers of art. Ukraine has a long history and some amazing architecture. You may want to marry a bride if you have a love of sports.
