@Osas said:

"Congratulations. But I thought it was usually a traditional marriage first before Christian or church marriage. Please what happened in your case? Why was it Church marriage before Traditional marriage? I just want to learn."

"OMG!! Blessing you literally just popped on my fyp for the first time in years after I lost your contact. Congratulations Darling."

@queen_oflalaland said:

"Why white wedding before traditional? Do you know the legal implications of the traditional wedding being your last wedding? Please it’s always best to have the statutory wedding last, at least for easy legal reasons."
