Pre-Wedding Prayer



Hair combing ceremony for the bride the night before her wedding is something I have not heard before. Alicia decided to have it done for her daughter Eva. The whole ceremony was arranged by Aunty Monie.

My conviction is that successful marriage is not dictated by ceremony of the like. But a ceremony such as this is a good demonstration of the parent's wish and desire to see their daughter live to enjoy the very best of marriage life here on earth. Beside, it is a fun experience to remember.

It takes more than hair combing to enjoy a good marriage. It is a conscious choice each partner has to make daily to make it works.

Chances of success in marriage if God is given a central role will be high. That's why I believe that a prayer to draw inspiration from God at the end of the ceremony can make a difference. Of course, the choice still lies with the bride and groom!
