• Youth Pastor Isaac Rwomushana says a wedding should not be considered life’s greatest achievement.
• He urged couples to focus on work, business and financial stability after getting married.
• He also discouraged people from dwelling on their wedding years later, encouraging them to pursue new milestones instead.

Youth Pastor Isaac Rwomushana has sparked discussion after sharing his views on weddings, arguing that the ceremony itself should not be treated as life’s greatest accomplishment.

Speaking during a recent interview with Shalom 256, Rwomushana said many people invest too much emotional and financial energy into organizing weddings, only to struggle with the realities of married life once the celebrations end.

“A wedding isn’t an achievement,” he said, urging people to get married without making the ceremony the center of their lives.

He noted that while friends and family are often willing to contribute money, gifts and support towards wedding celebrations, that same support rarely extends to helping couples meet their day-to-day financial responsibilities after the event.

“People will come and eat food,” he said, questioning what comes next after the wedding. He emphasized that once the ceremony is over, couples should focus on working hard and building a stable life together because no one will be paying their bills for them.

Rwomushana also criticized people who continue to boast about their wedding years after it happened, saying they should instead pursue new goals and achievements.

He remarked that anyone who is still talking about their wedding five years later should move on and start investing in more meaningful accomplishments, such as growing a business and creating financial stability.

According to the youth pastor, people should strive to have fresh testimonies of progress and success rather than making a single-day celebration the highlight of their lives.
