An older Sister in Christ back in the day babysat a few of us youngings in church has done a spectacular job with her husband capturing beautiful pictures for wedding and engagement photo sessions: Orange Turtle Photography.
Being a girl, I love attending weddings, because it is a holy matrimony between two intertwining to become one. It is a promise on behalf of both parties committing to a lifetime promise by exchanging vows. "to respect you in your successes and in your failures, to care for you in sickness and in health, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life." This beautiful day is witnessed by a multitude of family members, friends, coworkers, relatives, etc.
Switching gears, Christ is married to His bride, the Church. "Ephesians 5:22-33, is the most detailed teaching on marriage in the Bible. We will spend the next three weeks considering this passage. Today, we will notice the place of these verses in the context of the entire book, and then focus on the relationship between Christ and the church. For Paul compares human marriage to the marriage of Christ and his church. Since most of us, however, have little understanding of the relationship between Christ and the church, we are unable to draw out the proper implications for us as husbands and wives."
