It’s a case of “You may now hug the bride” instead of “You may now kiss the bride”.
“You may now kiss the bride!” These are familiar words at every single wedding across all religious groups…well, not anymore. Instead of officially giving the couple a licence to kiss, the pastor presiding over the wedding told the couple in no uncertain terms: “No kissing! We don’t kiss in this church! Hug each other in a holy manner!” This all happened in last night’s episode of Our Perfect Wedding on Mzansi Magic. And nope, when I say an “episode”, I don’t mean one of those carefully rehearsed and directed scenes in a TV series, I am talking about reality TV and not one of those scripted reality shows.
There was actually something wrong with that couple though. Ok, firstly we give the Lord a very big hand of praise that brother stood firm in his faith in God and fearing God such that he is a 44-year old virgin. No silly, this is not a scene from “Forty-year old Virgin” movie maan hau. I can already see some of you laughing at this guy. But we all know the Bible declares sex before marriage as a sin. Indeed, there is hope that abazalwane can stay right under the blood of Jesus until God gives them their life-partner. Let’s hear an amen for this bazalwane.
Having said that or as I was saying, there was something fishy with that couple. The groom was kind of excited about the day of the wedding such that he looked at the camera and said: “Tonight we are eating the butternut! Butternut is always nice, no matter what!” Ok. Now, that statement has all kinds of connotations and the implied meaning is indeed very dirty. Now, how does a 44-year old virgin say these kinds of statements?
Arg, now that female pastor… She is a total shame and I hope she is not from one of those charismatic churches that brainwash people such that they have to go against the Bible. Surely even the Bible tells us to kiss each other with a holy kiss and the practice of “you may now kiss the bride has been practiced since the beginning of time. If that woman isn’t from a charismatic church, may those overseeing her church pretty please call her to order.
Surely as Christians we are told to “save” ourselves for the right life-partner and we are only allowed to start kissing on the day we say “Until death do us part”.
Meanwhile, in next week’s episode, a kiss that doesn’t wanna stop and those eyes are very scary hey
Hopefully I will not be ex-communicated at church nje
