It is never written anywhere that you should do you marriage ceremony in the church or to do white wedding... Forget about all these pastors. Just gather some of family members from bothe sides, and some of you friends, that's all your done marrying.

Eva Nana-Yaa Tetteh said;

I have been a member of Assemblies of God church since childhood. This is new to me. I suggest you do court wedding. Some of these pastors are just greedy.

From Laga Aba;

Get the Church that will understand marriage not money conscious pastors.
