In a new memo dated May 15 2018, and signed by Pastor J.F Adesola, Assistant General Overseer (Admin and Personnel), the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) shares an updated list of wedding guidelines.

The document contains three new rules:

(a) "Every worker or department that will officiate during any wedding programme should appear strictly in formal outfits."

(b) "Ministers who have the responsibility of assessing the gown of the bride must ensure also that the outfits of the bridesmaids are checked to ensure that the standards of the church are not compromised."

(c) "Prior to the wedding programme, the groom and his groom's men must be accessed to ensure that they are not wearing Taliban beards, which is against the doctrine of the church."

According to the document, the updated wedding guidelines is a response to "certain loose practices."
