Why Do Africans Do White Wedding? by Christianokaro(m): 8:33am On Apr 16, 2022 |
One thing I'll never seem to understand is why Nigerians after fulfilling their traditional marriage rites, still go ahead to have a white wedding in church. I mean, why get married traditional and still copy oyinbo peoples marriage? Is this not mental slavery? To think that a lot of people struggling financially will empty their savings and even borrow just to get married twice. What do you think? 1 Like |

Most likely because of mental slavery and religious bondage When two Europeans or Americans are getting married in their own country, they don't do it in line with African traditions But when two Africans are getting married they would want to do it in line with European/American style and standard Shame on Africans who do such!! Shame!! 1 Like |

MadamVanessa: I find it funny, cause some couples I have asked personally, couldn't even defend why they did both. Often a case of, its the trend |

OP, white wedding is not white's man tradition...white wedding is actually Christian MARRIAGE...white people that are not Christians DON'T DO "WHITE WEDDING" as you call it..they just go to the court house and marry (which is more recognized by their government)...then for Nigeria.."white wedding" is optional...you can just walk to a court and get married or go to the local government registry (these are the ones government recognizes,along with the official documents)...so you can even marry without TRADITIONAL or RELIGIOUS marriage (Christian marriage or Islamic MARRIAGE)...NB CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE IS SAME AS WHITE WEDDING AND NOT WHITES MAN TRADITION...BUT MARRIAGE DONE BY CHRISTIANS Whites that are Muslims or believe in whatever they believe,do the MARRIAGE according to their beliefs and then go to the court house to get the MARRIAGE officially registered 1 Like |

.NB CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE IS SAME AS WHITE WEDDING I think you confirmed this yourself already but let me even ask, where in the bible did you see church organized marriage? Tell me about its not the white man's tradition |

rickpat: If marriage is the coming together of 2 to become one, and they have been traditionally joined, is church wedding then not a laughable practice? Especially since the church will ask if they've done traditional marriage before they can be wedded? The gan gan, for an African is traditional marriage. People need to start normalizing that it's okay to not have a white wedding. No be your culture |

Christianokaro:..it's just religious marriage...just as you have TRADITIONAL and Islamic MARRIAGE too. .the Christian MARRIAGE is just more like blessing your MARRIAGE in regards to your belief.. it is just conflicting of interest... people claim not to be traditionalist but you do traditional MARRIAGE...either way...it's abou what people want and what works for them |
Re: Why Do Africans Do White Wedding? by Christianokaro(m): 11:22am On Apr 16, 2022 |
rickpat: It's not about what people want and what works for them. It's people not being intentional about these things. It's people wanting to do because others are doing. Its people being forced to do because if they don't, they will not be allowed to partake in holy communion (in some churches). Its Africans having slave mentality. Meanwhile, Religion is a part of tradition and Christianity/Islam has its origin tied to some cultures. |

Christianokaro:..one can be hot headed and just go to court and marry without TRADITIONAL and/or Christian/Islamic...if you have the guts...a friend of mine did it and relocated to Canada peacefully when the family refuse them getting married...so..it's your choice |

rickpat: Court, Yes, that's very possible. Even popular singer, Omawumi did that years before finally having her traditional marriage. However, as a Nigerian based in Nigeria, you can never do that with white wedding. That tells you how inconsequential it is to us |
