That symbolic wedding in Cana was not just a family affair. (John 2 . 1-11)
Jesus and his disciples were invited, they were not part of the family
Jesus mother was invited also and we know that they were other guests too.
Now, consider the quantity of the wine that was miraculously produced.
The Bible says it was 6 jars with each containing 30 gallons. 180gallons total. The size was specific, and there is a detailed description of it - the type used for Jewish ceremonies.

In our today’s measurement that 180 gallons is 680 liters of wine alone. Equivalent of 57 cartons of Pure Heaven or Eva wine. ( Beer, malt and soft drinks not included).

Back your initial response, what size of families (groom’s and bride’s put together) would consume 57 cartons of wine?

Remember, the guests had been served earlier with what the couple had, it just wasn’t enough. The 57 cartons they were gifted was just an addition.

What blessing is better than our parents blessing

Prayer of parents is not to be confused with blessings for the power to bless and to curse belongs to God.

Christianity or Jesus Christ?
Jesus Christ said nothing!

I didn't mention Jesus oo...

You are free to do your wedding anyway you want. That freedom exists to all. But to claim it is a Christian wedding because it is done according to some tradition or rule of man is bogus

Blackdisciple:

I didn't mention Jesus oo...

well me m not yet married oo so I dnt sh**t about it

Well, Christianity is supposed to be based on teachings of Jesus Christ

you are free to throw yourself the event of the century if you want. As long as yoi dont suggest that the way you did it is exactly as God stipulates it be done by all...

A Marriage needs to be Blessed! Someone who stands as a Representative of GOD needs to Bless the Marriage. E.g Pastor, priest, etc

GOD ALMIGHTY in the Beginning Blessed Adam and Eve..

Gen 1:28..

The Blessings spoken to a couple is important!

All the other things are not really important!

Modified; Ignore what people say! GOD ALMIGHTY is a God of Order.

Parental Blessings are good and important

But do not ignore the Blessings of your Pastor, priest ,etc.. it's very important

Personally, the ‘real’ marriage for me is a civil one not traditional or religious. However, I am not going to begrudge or judge Christians on how they wish to practice their faith.

For those citing Jesus at a wedding, Christianity didn’t exist then, Jesus participated in Jewish customs and attended a wedding ceremony that was probably Jewish.

Each religion have their way of joining two couples and those that practice said faith should be allowed to follow such practices without judgement.

I know for Catholics, a priest blessing your marriage is important, it’s one of the sacraments a Catholic observes while they’re on earth, the last one is death.

I'm all in for mum and dad blessing. Traditional marriage is importanta. Lol

But wait.. inspiration of what Spirit?
What spirit led reno omokri to realizing this truth this time? Na Holy Spirit do am?

Many who claim to be Christians simply do not read what is written in order to comprehend it as it is written. They are too busy looking for hidden truths, believing they have special powers of "interpretation of scripture" bestowed on them by their claim to have faith.

There is no such thing as gift of "interpretation of scripture " from the Spirit of God. What you have though is a lot of ignorant minds, pretending to worship God.

I think this is right to reduce cost.

Sacra-what? All these things are doctrines and traditions of men. Jesus Christ never suggested any of those either. Meaningless ceremonies that rob people of the power of God in their lives.

Did you know that when it comes to burials, Jesus Christ said let the dead bury their dead..?

Dats D Truth.

Pastors or priests didn't bless any marriage in the bible.

Time is changing... Wedding is for women. it's an event meant to celebrate the ladies who have not turned themselves to community distributor and live a pious life.

No matter what she wants on here wedding day,if she has been faithful, you can give her what she wants.

But you see these lonely online feminist in their 30s ehen

This post is useless n hopeless

AiteeAitee:
Na wah for Africa.

You do stylish wedding. Them go talk say you dey waste money.

You nor do stylish wedding. Them go say na poverty dey worry you.

You do moderate wedding. Them go say you too stingy.

You talk say anything dem talk nor be your business. Her village people go siddon on top your matter.

My advice? Anyhow you wan do am, people go still talk. Just do am as the spirit leads. If you listen to people, you go frustrate.

Afterall, what matters is not the wedding ceremony but the 'marriage' ahead.

This doesn't make sense

doitforyou:

I didn’t say you have to spend to have a religious wedding.

If someone believes or their faith dictates their marriage has to be blessed by a religious leader, then let them be, that’s their faith.

It is ok to believe what you want. Just be sure u are also ready to accept the consequence of that belief.

For instance, when you ignore what God said tp put your trust in a human being who calls himself a religious leader, what you are invariably tellong God is that you prefer to be bleseed1by a fellow human than by Him. You nullify the power of God by your beliefs in the doctrines and traditions of men. That is what Jesus Christ warned His followers of.
He was clear about how these doctrines and human rules render even our worship and service meaningless to God.

This is a big thrash... I am a Northern Christian.... My parents and Pastor must be involved in my wedding.... It must be held in a Church for well wishers blessings and it's not a sin. In as much as we do it for the glory of God....As for reception, one can consider it optional, but in my area, we are not stingy as in reception many people put in their best to cover all the expenses. Example, groom friends can contribute 100k, bride's friends at least 50k, those we appointed as organisers take care of canopies, drinks, etc....Women fellowship provides for kitchen utensils and part of food....At least one can get 400k in the reception.... Though all are not Paramount.... My pastor told me it's not compulsory for reception to take place.... But we value it in life because three important events happen in ones life.
1. The naming ceremony, you didn't notice because you were a child.
2.Your death...you didn't notice because you are no more.
3. Your marriage, this is what you witness and you know it as you are matured...
Can you see the reason why people take marriage serious... Though it's not good to be indebted but try and enjoy that day to the fullest with what you have....In addition, we don't rent a hall as the church compound is large with a good shade....My life my business; you are disturbed, your headache... It's not a sin...A good reception must be held during my wedding.

na wa o, why are some men acting smarter than they are
Oga! the point is the topic has nothing against parties only against pastors acting God.

your guests are assumed to be people you know, family, friends and well wishers.

If you want to party, go for it...you are allowed to...God is not against any of that. What God is against is believing the doctrines and ways of men as His way
