Only one thing really matters at a wedding: two people getting married. How sad it would be for someone to sit in wedding after wedding, critiquing the form, the style, and the appearance of the couples, yet never rejoicing in, never celebrating the mystery of a man and woman becoming husband and wife through the miracle of marriage.
We endlessly debate the secondary points of worship and miss what really matters: The Almighty Creator, God of the Universe, has called us to enjoy an intimate relationship with Himself.
