Sensational gospel music minstrel, Tasha Cobbs Leonard took to her instagram page yesterday to share how she NEVER wanted a marriage and all the fanfare surrounding it. Like most ladies would want their weddings featured on Bella Naija, pick the best of aso ebi (fabrics), and all the paparazzi; camera lights flashing, disco jams and 5 star event centres, Tasha never got freaked with all of those.
She also shared a little tip for single ladies struggling with 'trying not to offend friends and family', saying that the marriage is really just between yourself, your spouse and your God!... Read her little but inspiring message:
“I always knew that I would be married, but I was just always turned off by the fanfare surrounding weddings! I grew up in a home with both of my parents. Daily, I witnessed the epitome of a Godly Marriage. My parents had normal disagreements, but even in those disagreements they exemplified Christ to my brother and I. To be honest, in my eyes, what weddings had become somehow seemed to have lost that sacredness I felt marriage represented. So, I was always a little torn, because I knew I would be married, I was just never certain of what the ceremony would be!
When Kenny and I began having conversations about marriage I took my brainstorming to the maximum level! I thought, what represents who we are? Worship, Prayer, Fun, Laughter, and Family! So why can't our ceremony be just that? We both agreed on this approach! Boyyyyy did I have to fight my Bestie Adrienne Rainey Grimsley on this! Ha! She's the girl with the magical, fairytale, wedding! (She just got married last month). There's nothing wrong with it... we are all different! But this post is for the single girl or bride to be who is struggling with "who's gonna be upset if I don't?!"... Be freed!
You don't have to spend your last dime to prove anything! Your marriage is a covenant between you, your spouse and your GOD! Do what makes you happy! Looking back at these pics... I'm soooooo glad we did it how we wanted to do it! I wouldn't change one thing! Just felt like sharing the #thoughtsfromtashascouch behind the private ceremony of #leonard2infinity 😘
