Nigerian Pastor, Abel Damina of Power City International, has stirred reactions from the online community after he disclosed that wedding receptions are unnecessary.
According to the clergyman, real marriage happens when the parents give their children to one another.
Pastor Damina shared this during a recent sermon in his church.
The clergyman revealed that couples do not need to spend lavishly on wedding receptions as the wedding is not recognized in the Bible.
He further explained that marriage occurs when the parents give their children to one another and all the family’s requirements have been met, including the bride price payment.

Pastor Damina restated that married couples do not need to spend millions feeding people at wedding receptions, and the bride does not need to wear wedding gowns.
His said, “Wedding is just a celebration after marriage. The real marriage has happened before wedding because the real marriage is parents giving their children to one another. That is marriage. It is cultural. So all that wedding is unnecessary. It is not in the bible. No wedding in the bible.
White wedding is a white man’s culture. It is not a bible thing. In the bible, marriage is parents handing over the children when the requirements of the families are met. Once that happens, marriage has happened and as a responsible Christian, you call your pastor to speak a blessing. You don’t need to feed people. You don’t need to wear gown”
