Weddings

My wife and I went to a wedding last night at historic Forest Park in St. Louis. It was a small wedding, but still very beautiful.
We did not know the bride or the groom, but I intern for the bride's father, who happened to be the officiant, so we went.
Weddings are such a sacred time, and I think that Christian weddings are even more solemn because a Christian wedding is a time for the celebration of God's goodness, a time to worship, and a time where two people are joined in a relationship that symbolizes the union of Christ and his church.
I know that many non-Christian weddings carry similar aspects, and because of common grace, the applications are still there, but for my money, Christian weddings are more special.
