Your Wedding at
A wedding is the result of
one man and one woman loving each other so much that they want to spend the
rest of their lives together. Your
wedding at Bethel means that you want God to bless you as you begin that new life
together as husband and wife. Your
wedding ceremony gives you an opportunity to make vows to each other with God
and your guests as witnesses. The
Bible readings show that God is the giver of love, and that as you love each
other, you reflect some of the qualities of God. As you
begin married life, we pray with you that you will keep God at the centre of
the marriage so that it remains strong enough to withstand the storms life
will bring along, and so filled with God’s joy that you live happily and faithfully
together all your lives.
