A video of a bride removing her makeup and jewelry just before her wedding has sparked a wave of reactions online after her pastor disapproved of cosmetics and accessories.

The footage shows the bride initially adorned with makeup and jewelry, only to cleanse her look moments later to adhere to the church’s strict guidelines. This practice, which is part of the doctrine of a popular Nigerian church, left the bride with no alternative but to alter her appearance before the ceremony.

The video captures a background voice expressing discontent with the church’s policy, stating, “POV: Pastor said no makeup and jewelry. We had to clean the entire makeup after her photo session.”

This has triggered a debate among netizens, with some criticizing the church’s requirements and others questioning whether the bride was informed of these rules ahead of time.
