I'm sat in my choir uniform in Heslington Church ready to see my friend, Emily, get married! We're singing a few gospel tunes while they sign the register...
I do love a good wedding, but I don't think you can beat a Christian wedding. There's something special about putting God at the centre of a marriage; like was originally intended. God is love (take a look at the book of 1 John) and all love comes from God. Marriage involves 2 people declaring their love for one another and promising their love and faithfulness forever. A Christian marriage involves all of the above, but the love they declare is recognised as coming from God and the promises they make are sealed in Christ.
A marriage which honours God and two people who come together for the love of God, as well as the love of one another, is one that truly reflects what marriage is about and represents Christ's love to those who see it.
