In this regard, he advised that any man who does not have at least GH¢100,000 in his bank account should be discouraged from having a wedding.
“You don’t want to begin your marriage with debt. I’m ruling by the grace of God. Discourage people who want to have weddings. Until they can prove to us that if a man cannot show that he has at least GH¢100,000 in his bank account, he shouldn’t have a wedding,” he said.
Duncan-Williams also admonished ladies who desire to have a wedding ceremony at all costs.
He urged them to be receptive to the idea of having a simple wedding ceremony devoid of food, receptions, and other expenses.
“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? Why? And then after that, they insult you and say the drinks were not enough or the food was not good enough. Why give people the opportunity to insult you? Don’t give them anything. Just come here on Sunday morning. And you sisters, what you want is not that white dress. You want a man. You want a husband. So just show up here,” he added.
