All right, the recent moralization posts have got me thinking. Why not have a Biblical theme wedding? Besides the ritual deflowering, my mind's blank at the moment, but I'm sure that AmyC and others will have ideas ...

You're treading on dangerous ground on this one, Naomi!
However, the Garden of Eden comes to mind. Or perhaps the book of Genesis.
I watched "The Last Temptation of Christ" the other day. Some good fodder in there concerning Mary Magdalene, but I don't think it would go over too well.

What a wonderful idea! The guests can all come in on donkeys and the minister can stand on a little Mt. Sinai replica with the vows chiseled on stone tablets. Think of what a lovely momento those tablets would be in years to come. Hanging over the mantel perhaps? For the reception fish, bread and wine would be perfect. Or I guess you could fire up the grill for after the goat sacrifice. Instead of tossing the garter the groom and his friends could stone all of the non-virgins. (What size handbasket do you think is suitable for a trip to Hell?)

I don't want to comment much, but when you mock the Good Book, i'm sure things cannot go very well for you...
Did you get married BEFORE GOD, what was your point of having a minister/pastor/priest marry you if you could have just gone to old city hall and had the party afterwards...
I'm sorry, but not for my comments.

Naomi - you DO like to stir up trouble, don't you!!!???
Dee - The "Good Book" mocks itself with it's own hypocracies and inconsistancies. It's interesting as folklore but I don't think it was ever meant to be taken as literally as it is today.
I think that Naomi has a fab idea! As soon as I come up with some more good ideas, I'll be sure to post them.
Oh, by the way, these are my honest opinions and not meant to get anyone's panties bunched.

Hate to point out the fact that no one answered Dee's question about those people who have a 'religious' ceremony, but don't they don't walk the talk - ie live a 'God-honoring' lifestyle. If people don't believe the Bible is truth - why quote scripture passages at the wedding? That's the real hypocrisy of it. If people don't believe it, then they shouldn't use any of it.
Oh, and for the Bible-themed wedding . . . Noah's Ark springs to mind (could have the children dressed up!), or everyone waving palm branches, keeping the wine in large alabaster jars, eating loaves of bread and fishes etc.

I think you and Dee have a point, Renee. Bruce and I were married in a non-denominational chapel and our ceremony reflected our spirituality, but we didn't quote scriptures. Our readings were poems that were meaningful to us. I was brought up Catholic and have a healthy respect for the Holy Trinity, but Bruce does not have that belief system at all. So, we negotiated the "God" references, I included the Lord's Prayer, and when we exchanged rings, I included "in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost, while Bruce didn't include it at all.
One of the reasons I didn't get married in the Catholic Church was that I felt it would be hypocritical on my part, and have no meaning for Bruce at all. What's the point of that? So, I agree with Renee & Dee on that one!

I agree with all that! The only reason we weren't married in a park by a JP was because Chris is a practicing Catholic and his faith is very important to him. I could have cared less but wanted to respect his wishes. After all marriage is certainly about compromise! We were married in a Catholic church with a full mass. We also added things in the program that were important to me and we both wrote our own vows.

Lissy you did all this, but YOU NEVER mentioned a word about God I hope, because that would contradict everthing about your first statement. You know God=Bible Bible=God...
I think (just to add on my previous point) that if you do not believe in God and have a PRIEST marry you wouldn't it feel like a sham? Since you don't beive what he is saying, in the sense of marriage before GOD. That ladies is why people get married in a church. To do it before God.
