White wedding is useless for Africans – Apostle Inkoom

Apostle Emmanuel Inkoom has made a bold declaration that white weddings have no spiritual or cultural significance in Africa and should be reconsidered.

Speaking on Joy Prime, monitored by MyNewsGh, he stated, “A white wedding is not even a marriage. It has no spiritual significance, no cultural significance—only economic significance. It is simply an unnecessary financial burden on couples.”

He argued that marriage is fundamentally cultural, and in Africa, the traditional marriage is what truly binds a couple together.

He added, “In the olden days, white gowns symbolized purity, but today, people wear them without understanding their meaning. We are blindly copying traditions that do not belong to us.”

According to him, pastors should focus on blessing traditional marriages instead of encouraging expensive white weddings. He further advised couples to invest in their future instead of spending lavishly on a ceremony that, in his view, does not hold any real value.
