(Video) Pastor refuses to officiate wedding due to groom's long beard
A Nigerian man created a stir on social media after he was reportedly sent out of a church on his wedding day because of his beard.
The incident was revealed in a TikTok video that quickly gained attention online.
The groom, whose face is shown in the video, shared his experience, explaining that the pastor refused to proceed with the wedding unless he shaved his beard.
The caption on the video reads, “I was sent out of church because of my beard on my wedding day.”
In the video, the groom and his best man are seen sitting in a car after being asked to leave the church.
The man is later spotted by the roadside, having his beard trimmed so that he could return to the ceremony.
The exact location of the church remains undisclosed, but the video has prompted significant reactions from social media users, who offered a range of opinions on the matter.
One commenter questioned why the church hadn’t addressed the beard issue earlier during pre-marital counselling, while another expressed frustration at the church’s focus on the man’s appearance rather than his character as a future husband.
Some people even pointed out that beards were common during biblical times, making the church’s decision seem out of place.
Others, however, took a lighter approach, teasing the groom for having a beard they considered excessive for the occasion.
The video continues to circulate widely, sparking debate about the role of personal appearance in religious ceremonies.
