There's nothing magical that happens when you're in your 20s that suddenly you're mature and done growing as a person. I daresay a good many 60 year olds have a lot more wisdom than a 30 year old, but that doesn't mean marriage should wait until you're in your 60s. Marriage at a young age isn't for everyone, but some people DO have their head on straight at 19 or even sooner.

That sounds more like a marriage of convenience and a friendship than what God truly calls us to enter into.

I come from a very large family on both sides and have been to (and in) countless weddings- I've never seen anyone run down the aisle after being pronounced. Where I live and the surrounding states, that would be considered very rude and very bad manners. Here, the first public act the the bride and groom do as part of their "community" of family, friends, Church family is to use that walk down the aisle to visually acknowledge their guests as they pass each pew. They further receive well-wishes from guests in a receiving line at the reception. I've heard the argument that with a 1000 guests, a receiving line would take forever. So, either cut the guest list to those closest to the couple, walk down the aisle and visually acknowledge your guests (at a minimum), or do the receiving line. If they're special enough to be invited to share your once-in-a-lifetime, they're special enough to be thanked and acknowledged for coming to celebrate it with you. At the absolute minimum, there's no reason (1000 guests or not) the newly minted bride & Groom can't take a minute after you're pronounced to publicly address their guests and thank them for coming to share in their special day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-72962299332334927632018-07-20T23:13:25.122-05:002018-07-20T23:13:25.122-05:00U, CAN SEE IT ON YOUTUBE, BAD QUALITY, BUT STILL W...U, CAN SEE IT ON YOUTUBE, BAD QUALITY, BUT STILL WATCHABLE!!!!justinekessner4gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07161223445916687465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-38702100764817932382018-07-20T21:28:12.043-05:002018-07-20T21:28:12.043-05:00What a beautiful wedding!

What he said was great, as well as funny. But when he gave Kendra away he gave a hilarious take on finances and dowry. Seems to me that would have been better left for a different event. I think in their circle these kinds of jokes must be common. But it detracts from the solemnity of the ceremony as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
