The head pastor of Alabaster International Ministries, Prophet Kofi Oduro, is advising people to avoid extravagant white weddings. He believes that spending money on white weddings after traditional ceremonies is not a wise decision. Instead, those funds could be better utilized to support livelihood-enhancing projects.
According to the man of God, the rising expenses of marriage ceremonies have discouraged many men from getting married. Prophet Oduro suggested that single men and women should consider having traditional weddings to save their money instead of wasting it on lavish and extravagant ceremonies.
He expressed his opinion against extravagant white weddings, stating that they are a waste of resources and can lead to unnecessary debt. He believes that regardless of one’s wealth, such lavish ceremonies with numerous bridesmaids and flower girls are imprudent, especially when starting out in life. However, he thinks it may be appropriate to celebrate with a luxurious wedding anniversary after being married for 25 years.
The man of God urged couples to use the money for the white wedding as deposits for land or housing investments. He urged for wisdom in financial decisions, cautioning against weddings that strain financial resources, ultimately deterring men from marriage. Prophet Oduro delivered this message during a sermon to his congregation.
