PHOTO: Pastor Refuses To Join Man And Woman Together Because The Bride Wore A Sexy Wedding Dress
Apostle Michael Canty of The Truth Ministries Holiness Church recently angered an entire wedding party which might have damaged his new ministry’s reputation, after he refused to marry a bride and groom on their wedding day because he felt her dress was too “sexy”.
Lisa Washington said ‘she’s never been more embarrassed’ when a local pastor refused to officiate Saturday and allow her to wed her groom on their wedding day in his facility. Both families were present and the food was waiting to be served at the bride’s aunt house.
Family members flew and drove long distances to be present for the couples special day. Upset and frustrated, guests at the wedding practically ‘begged’ the leaders of the church to reconsider but to no avail,
he wouldn’t change.

“I can’t believe this! I flew here to attend my cousin’s wedding and now I have to put up with this crap. Now this so-called pastor doesn’t want to come out of his office” said the cousin of the bride.
The
wedding scheduled Saturday, August 10th, was scheduled for 3pm. At 2pm,
the pastor greeted the bride and groom when he noticed the bride’s
dress. According to the bride’s mother, the pastor jokingly asked ‘where
is the other half of the dress?’ Not thinking anything of it, the
family laughed it off and continued applying make-up on the bride.
Around 2:30pm the pastor asked a leader of the church to ask the bride
and the family about the other part of her dress.
The bride informed the leader ‘this is it’. The leader reported the news to the pastor and then the pastor informed personally the bride and groom at separate times he could not perform the wedding with the bride in her selected dress. The pastor told the bride she would have to cover up her breast area and find a way to add length to the dress. The bride informed the pastor there is no way to accomplish this with so short of a notice and she has to wear her dress. Then the pastor informed her he would not be able to perform the ceremony then walked back to his office.
The wedding party tried many times to change the
pastor’s decision but their efforts were ineffective. Around 4:15pm
guests at the wedding were growing impatient and were looking for
answers for the delay. When they were told the reason for the delay
around 4:35pm their impatience change to anger and disbelief.The bride informed the leader ‘this is it’.

After hearing how the bride was crying her eyes out in the back, a minister who was a guest at the wedding offered to perform the ceremony. When the minister asked the pastor for permission to perform the ceremony, the pastor told him ‘no’ and expressed to him how his request was disrespectful.
