Groom pecks wife instead of kissing her
In the video, the couple were before the altar when the pastor ordered the groom to kiss his bride.
The groom unveiled his bride and proceeded to kiss her on both cheeks instead, and this caused a commotion among the guests.
Some people defended what played out between the couple. Jehovah's Witness is a Christian-based new religion best known for their door-to-door evangelising and distributing the magazines.
Jehovah's Witness member reacts to groom's action
A Jehovah's Witness member who pleaded anonymity said there are different reasons why the groom did not kiss his wife on her lips. In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, she explained:
"Okay, several reasons would have probably made him refrain, but here's a major reason:
"1. The arrangement took place at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses (our place of worship - a dignified venue). So, Christian couples will want to see that “all things take place decently,” guided by “the wisdom from above” (1 Corinthians 14:40; James 3:17).
"The apostle Paul wrote: “Whether you are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory. Keep from becoming causes for stumbling” (1 Corinthians 10:31, 32). Because it took place there (KH), there's a high possibility that there are minors present. So the feelings of these others should be considered and respected.
"2. Based on individual personality and differences in land.
"For example, the white people love public display of affection, even at that, it will be done decently. Therefore, the bride or groom may be shy to do so in the public."

Why groom failed to kiss bride
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had shared why he could not kiss his bride on his wedding day.
According to the man, he was ready for the moment, but it never came, and he shared why it was so. He said it still surprises him to date that he didn't kiss his bride. His Facebook post read in part:
"...So, here’s the thing, my wedding day was amazing, but there’s one part I didn’t get to experience, and it still stings a little: “You may kiss the bride. Yup, I was ready. Mentally, emotionally, and well, let’s just say I had practiced. But at Salvation Ministries, where we tied the knot, that part isn’t included in their tradition. And while I respect the church’s pattern, I couldn’t help feeling like something was missing..."
