A Christian Perspective On Your Wedding Service
A Christian wedding service is a service of worship where, unlike a non-Christian service, the presence of Christ is proclaimed and His centrality in the service and the marriage is honored. It is God who created marriage. God who ordained marriage. It is God who strengthens and sustains marriage. Jesus is therefore the central figure in the Christian wedding service.
Because the Christian wedding service is centered around Christ, and your vows to Him and before Him, anything that detracts from this is not appropriate. Therefore, extended personal messages by guests and family, flash photography, obtrusive videotaping, secular music, secular readings, crowns, weapons, sexually suggestive clothing, political messages, photographing by the congregation, and videotapes of the lives of the bride and groom, have no place during a Christian wedding service (at the reception if you like, but not during the service).
