You this woman the evil wish and directions you keep posting for the Ghanaian Youth will come upon your own head and destroy you. If you do not repent, the God I serve will visit you with stroke and paralysis. You will not see light until you repent. May your evil directions make your own path very slippery and dark so that you will fall into your own pit.

Mr. Smith do you know you're a very Stupid man? Your parents are equally advising younger ones because they also made certain mistakes and do not want others to do same. If you were wise you would've known that the best advice in life comes from those who have gone through the same situation a person is facing. I wonder the kind of advice a Fool like you will give his son.

Gyimii some of you read the deceptive headline and came to comment. He said having weddings and not marrying. Even I an unbeliever am shocked by your foolishness. The man knows what he’s talking about and he is speaking facts. My only issue is that I feel he seems to want to have a mass wedding and also discourages people who can afford the pomp from having a white wedding. To each his own in the end papa sofo

People should live within their means and stop trying to impress others. Just because somebody you know or don't know had a big wedding does not mean that you should give them a 'run for their money' by having a bigger wedding! The couple should not feel that they are obligated to do what some other couple did!! It is not a competition!!! And then of course, Ghanaians, it is a thing to bring presents to the couple on their wedding. It is not mandatory but it is just a nice thing to do!

The archbishop spoke about wedding. He said you could marry the traditional way and signed at the court or the church could bless the marriage at church without all the expensive white wedding.

Why are you running away from the issue, is wedding biblical or marriage is what God ordained. Christians have labelled white wedding as aware kronkron to wit blessed marriage. currently couples who go through the proper way to marry by custom are not even respected by these religious leaders and their churches. Religious leaders must change and preach what is in the Bible

Am sorry but it is not true that religious leaders do not recognise traditional marriages. They do and that is why no Pastor will even allow a couple to do a blessing or wedding if they haven't fulfilled the first one which is the traditional marriage. You and I know that at every wedding the Pastors will ask the lady's family if the man has fulfilled all the traditional requirements. What you're referring to is our laws instead.

So let me educate you, we ourselves as blacks have made it such that if you do a traditional marriage the man can still go in for another woman. But with the white wedding you are not allowed to take another woman apart from your wife which is exactly what the bible teaches. So that is why the religious bodies prefer that couples do the weddings aside the traditional ones so as to safeguard the future of the wives and husbands.

Pastor, do you see what you are putting into the heads of your followers and church members, where do you expect the majority of them to get this amount from? After paying the "by- force" tithes , utilities, rents,means of transport etc.. how much will be left for them to have this kind of savings. Maybe they should steal from their employers. Please encourage them to start lifes together from the scratch if they have something enough as well as jobs to maintain themselves. I feel sorry for the young people of today

Your problem is understanding. He was talking about wedding and not marriage. Wedding is the lavish ceremony after marriage (traditional). He's of the view that those who want to spend their fortune to do wedding after marriage (traditional) should have at least 100,000 to cushion them again debt after wedding (colonial marriage). I wonder how people listen. No wonder the large number of people fail in English during final exams. He's talking about wedding and you jumped into conclusion, attacking the man of God. You don't know the meaning of wedding and you're attacking him? Pathetic!

@ Derrick Mr English man, please stop fooling there and reread what is written there, too known, sabi sabi, big headed Derrick stop that nonsense of English thing there, go and ask your father!!! how much was he having before marrying or wedding your mother!!!, you people will not preach what is in the Bible, you be using your own mind to be telling your followers nonsense, how much did Bible spesifie that Abraham, Issac, Jacob was having before marrying, Jacob was still a servant with no wages, even when ask of how much should he be paid he says I will serve seven years in exchange of wife, so his first seven years salary was the wife even the second seven years was also for wife before he now serve six years for possession but he still make it big time, stop deceiving innocent people because they trus the pastor more than the Bible, so even if pastor drink best and good wine that is brought from dubai or south afr and start saying nonsense they can't question him and say where is it in the Bible

A wedding like any other event costs a lot. I went to a 3-hour event and later got to know that it cost more than GHS 95,000 (ninety five thousand Ghana cedis). The mans is right.

TOO MANY ILLITERATES ON THIS THREAD(S)
=================================

I am no fan of Duncan Williams, but he nailed this one. The headline though is MISLEADING. He is NOT saying that people should not marry if they have less than GHC100k.

Rather, if you don't have 100k, don't BEGIN your marriage with DEBT! The 100k was only a REFERENCE figure.
