Jehovah’s Witness Bride Wears Simple Gown To Her White Wedding

[Guest Nicole]

A Jehovah’s Witness Bride wore a Simple Gown To Her White Wedding and the photo has sparked serious debate online.

The wedding day itÂ’s always one of the happiest day of a normal lady, but for this Jehovah witness guy, things doesnÂ’t appear to be normal.

Could her choice for a simple gown have to do with Jehovah Witnesses doctrine?, while we search for the answer, read what a facebook user who shared the story said

”And someone just did what I’ve always imagined! Now i guess we have demystified white wedding. I love this! I wish I was there at the wedding.” ladies can you wear this to your white wedding? Drop your comments

What's wrong with it? Bride wearing a white dress to her wedding is a relatively modern convention that does nothing but add cost to the wedding and in no way enhances the married life of the participants.

@David Normand although if I were to think along those lines. ...

Why even have a public ceremony anyways? It does nothing for their future married life. Potentially even costs $. 

Just run down to the Justice of the Peace at the Courthouse and get married. :-)

That is exactly what Susan and I did when we got married !

As retired engineer and math teacher we are not into impressing anyone.  We got simple, silver wedding bands that cost less than $200, of which we are very proud to wear.

Parties are nice, and I do go to parties ... including my two son's weddings at Kingdom Halls, but people that NEED parties are usually painfully shallow and self-centered ... caring more about others' opinions than what is right or wrong according to a persons NATURAL conscience.

Peer pressure ruins a person, both inside and outside of the Truth, in my not-so-humble opinion.

You should use the Gallery area for sharing many photos like this.....

You can even make albums etc...

I made a category called Nature for you.

The simple is the best in my opinion

Nothing wrong with this picture....why follow the traditions of men? Running down to the JP is NOT the same as getting married in the Hall and having a brother marring them and getting Jehovah's blessing. Do not be judging our brothers.

 

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

If people want to make it a grand party, and can afford it, and want to do it ... fine.  There is nothing to judge them for.

I had a wedding in a Kingdom Hall many years ago also  ... My eldest son had a Wedding at a Kingdom Hall and a Reception that staggered my perception, but then again, I think an oath between a man and a woman is enough.  I was born in an entirely wrong epoch, and am a Barbarian by nature.

Does it mean that if a JW brother and sister don't get married at a Kingdom Hall and don't have a brother giving a public talk on the stage  for them and other they don't get Jehovah's blessing? 

I  don't think so.

The best gift Jehovah gives is free will. I was married in a blush pink gown 25 yrs ago. The talk was given by an elder (my father) at a local country club where we also had the reception. Since 3 different congregations were invited, having it at the Hall wasn't practical. We still managed to have an inexpensive happy occasion. Point is, Jehovah is the creator of marriage and does deserve to be involved, but no one should be stumbled if the bride doesn't wear a white pricy dress or they decide to move the venue to a larger location.

@runtifus A couple who chooses a civil ceremony should also not be made to feel bad in any way. 

Elders are specifically told NOT to offer their personal opinions.  This would also qualify as an area of personal choice. 

The marriage of @James Thomas Rook Jr. Is as valid as someone who has 400 in attendance at an Assembly Hall or Branch. 

I once performed a wedding at a Branch office with about 300 attending. A very elegant wedding and reception.  

I first had to become licensed by the Staten to perform the wedding in the first place.

Wow it sure is easy to misunderstood on these things. I was simply commenting on someone else's post. Not necessary to marry in the hall with a brother presiding to get Jehovah's blessing.....each to their own. I will keep my comments to myself so as not to be musunderstood. No offense intended.
