Church Bans Half-Naked Brides from Ceremonies

29th April '08

The Cathedral Church of Christ, Marina, in Lagos, has threatened to stop conducting weddings for couples where the bride and bridesmaids appear half-naked. Provost of the cathedral Reverend Yinka Omololu who handed down the threat said he had had cause, several times, to drive some bridesmaids out of the church because they were too scantily dressed for the ceremony.

"The men will appear properly dressed in their suits and ties but the ladies, especially the brides and the bridesmaids, will appear half naked. I drive them out of the church. Some of them will be crying and borrow wrappers to cover themselves before the ceremony can take place." Omololu said. Describing the trend as an off-shoot of the escalating moral decadence in the society, he said the cathedral had declared war against it and warned parents to caution their daughters.
