A Nigerian bride was compelled to cover her wedding dress with a cape before she could proceed with her church wedding.
In a viral video, the bride is seen wearing a white wedding gown with a fitted bodice and stylish neckline.
However, church officials reportedly considered the dress “inappropriate” for the ceremony due to its design.
To meet the church’s modesty standards, the bride wore a white cape over her gown. Though visibly uncomfortable, she complied to avoid disruptions on her big day.
The incident has stirred mixed reactions online. While some defended the church’s stance on modest dressing during religious ceremonies, others criticized the decision, saying it overshadowed the bride’s moment and her personal choice for her big day.

@Creamyfinest This is why I like my Catholic church. That outfit is perfect. Catholic brethren oyeeeeeeeee. 😂
@emeka_ From bride to bridesmaid. I’m convinced that these churches just do not like good fashion. There’s nothing too revealing with her original dress
@sweetbee_horlla But it is not even revealing. Redeem doesn’t really do this now. Maybe it’s a new tradition or it is just the particular branch
