Archbishop Duncan William, the founder and General Overseer of Action Chapel International, has urged his church members to discourage people from having weddings, unless the man can prove he has GH¢100,000 in his account.
The man of God urged young persons to avoid the financial mistake of accruing debt in pursuit of a lavish wedding.
He called on his church leaders to take adequate steps to curb this situation, noting that it has placed many young families under pressure.
Preaching to his congregation, Duncan-Williams stated, “You don’t want to begin your marriage with debts. You go to the honeymoon, and the phones begin to ring, and it’s the lady who brought the chairs for the wedding asking for her money, then another phone rings, the woman who provided the drinks.
Discourage people who want to have a wedding until the man can prove to us that he has at least he has GH¢100,000 in his bank account; he should not have a wedding”.
He further added, “I want us to stop this thing of white wedding and you single women stop this thing where you want the man to wed you, marriage is not a wedding, and those of you who give people money for marry who do not have, if they do not have, they should not marry because mariage is not love, love does not buy provision, love does not pay the bills”.
Duncan William stressed that he is not saying people should not get married, but indicated that people should marry with a maid of honour, bridesmain and best men.
He added, “I am not saying we should not help people who want to get married, but we need to have about five or ten marriages on the altar, everybody takes their ring, no best man, no maid of honour, no bridesmaid, nothing, we just pronounce the blessing of God, go home and make love, make babies, live your life.
Why do you have to do a reception? Why do you have to bring people to come and eat and drink your food for free after they insult you?”
Archbishop Duncan William added, “If you have money to have a wedding, fine, but a lot of you don’t have money for weddings, and even if you do, using money for weddings is a liability and not an asset. A wedding is a liability to those of you who are now building wealth. It is an asset to those who have made their money”.
Some of you don’t even have a bedroom you are living, you don’t even have money to rent a house, and you want a wedding”.
