Song of Solomon 3:6-11

Whatever wedding traditions you hold or experience will be less than what they do over there. Choices that couples make around the wedding ceremony are significant. My parents chose a washer and dryer over a church wedding. I have a brother-in-law whose wedding began in a horse drawn carriage but the marriage only lasted a year. A nephew only knew his bride for a couple weeks before they ran off to get married in Las Vegas. There are a lot of ways to get married and the choices made around the wedding matter. The wedding should be a foundation for respect for the marriage but should not put the new couple at risk financially. Traditions with meaning should be respected but fanciful visions should probably be rethought.
