Growing trend? I don't think so. Anyway, my plan is to do my traditional and church wedding the same day. The government needs to do something about our traditional marriage, so we can issue legal documents to back the traditional wedding. 15 Likes |

Sweetlemon:I do dear. Someone said we ladies love big weddings, she may have to speak for herself, bc i am very conservative when it comes to finance. Not like we talking about ceremony here, just signing the dotted lines ...be it in church/court. i don't support people that did it bearing in mind that a divorce will occur o, there is no room for that in my marriage. I just want that legal backing, you can't walk into any org and tell dem you are married without any paper to back it up. recently I have even be asked for newspaper publication, i was so reluctant to do it...lol my hubby just gave me as new month gift...hahahahaha @100cents, I haven't seen it, my mail is telling me yahoo not responding...blablabla, wareva that means 7 Likes |

jmoore: Growing trend? I don't think so.That's what people do these days, traditional marriage in the morning and the white follows afterwards. 2 of my friends did the same thing too, For me my traditional marriage is very important as that's where my bride price will be paid but I go still wear gown sha. I go do white too. |

jmoore: Growing trend? I don't think so. I agree with you. The government needs to do something about it for the sake of those who see no need for more than one ceremony. There is really a need for documents. What motivated me to start this thread is a lady I know of currently crying her heart out right now. Her then struggling bf only did traditional wedding and postponed the white till further notice giving the excuse of finance. She moved into his house, only too happy to get a hubby just before clocking 30. The guy got an offer abroad but because they weren't legally married, he couldn't take her along. All advise that she should tell the guy to do court wedding of nothing more than 40k fell on deaf ears (court payments plus small refreshment for like 5 witnesses). She was hopeful that he will come back to do the white/court wedding at "his own pace" . Ok nau, the guy left. Little by little, he stopped calling her. Then all of a sudden, she heard he was in town........ for his wedding! When her family confronted him, he said he was married to her traditionally and he was allowed to have as many wives as he wished under tradition she was given a choice to accept it or leave. Meanwhile he did white wedding with his second wife o! They signed documents. They have both since gone back abroad leaving his first wife high and dry without the dignity of any proceeding. As in it was like an ordinary unceremonious break-up btw a boyfriend and girlfriend. God forbid! 9 Likes |

I had no idea that some women can still follow men blindly in this day and age! I'm really surprised to read some ladies' comments here. Where i come from, (even the church advises the same thing) court marriage comes first before you even talk about the traditional and white weddings. Ladies it is for your own good oh...court marriage is the cheapest among the three. Try to see that you do it. 15 Likes |

Sweetlemon: u are misinforming people. traditional marriage is as solid as the so-called "court marriage" (Marriage under the Act). the only difference is that different laws govern both. for Ur info, conducting Registry immediately nullifies all other forms of marriage earlier conducted, and performing any other form of marriage after registry marriage is an offence punishable by jail time. pls download urself a copy of the Marriage Act and be better informed. do u need judicial authorities to clarify issues for u? send Ur email address and I'll give u some. but I beg u, stick to facts. 10 Likes 1 Share |

The document can be signed anywhere even in my sitting room as long as there are witnesses from both sides and an officiating minister or elvis. As far as am concerned an traditional sure pass, the next Sunday wifey and I will go and kneel be the altar for church blessing and pastor go bless us. No time for to much ceremony, anybody who wants to question the authenticity of my marriage after, does so at his own peril. |

Evergreen123: Can any of these noise makers tell me the significance of white wedding? Honestly. I am tired of explaining to people that it's not necessarily about a big white wedding with all the ceremony and pageantry but about signing documents. It doesn't matter if there are only 5 witnesses. Just sign a document! *Abandons threads* 3 Likes |

op sounds as if the sole purpose of having a certificate is to use it as a valid document when applying for a divorce. Say a lady marries a guy who is already worth billions in assets and after 5 years she decides to divorce him and claim ownership of half of the guys assets which he already had b4 he married her. Mbanu.. That's why a prenup is important. Cos if she is gonna insist on a court wedding then I will defidefinitely insist we sign a prenup to avoid stories that touch. 7 Likes |

Sweetlemon: I guess u didn't know that Local Government Councils issue certificate of traditional marriage if you approach them for one. again, I'll bet u didn't know that a simple affidavit of marriage suffices for d same purpose as a marriage certificate. ask NYSC. I have personally called them on this issue before and they stated so. all the above stated documents never still do? 10 Likes |

Kachisbarbie:Most guys would not shy away to sign a simple piece of paper and go home and enjoy their marital life, but is that going to be comfortable with most women? Signing a piece of paper without fun-fair? I doubt it.. the subtext of this heading should ve been " why do most men dread fancy white wedding after traditional wedding? Back to my point.. Understanding your demands comes with picking up the tab in a white wedding! Guys don't run from signing a piece paper, but signing a blank check to cover a much fantasized "royal wedding" that's been anticipated since childhood. 5 Likes |

nice say OP...having ur marriage registered in church/court is a good tyn. My venerable will say to the groom 'if u wish to divorce any day, u have to bring back every single guest here in attendance'...which is impossible. Let me share dis: i have dis female friend, having attended weddings(knot), anchored asoebis for her friends, now is her turn. She'v done her trad, she said to me 'am planning on a Morning Mass Wedding' Taaaaaaa! Na so i provoke. Lol 1 Like |

Church or court wedding is not all about spending money, like the OP would want us to believe. Yes, you spend money, but the main reason some people do it (court), including myself, is to give it a legal backing. The certificate you're issued at the registry has legal backing. For those that did just traditional marriage or paid only the bride price (especially when there is no legal document backing it) , before the law you're not a couple, but just cohabiting. 7 Likes |
