Matthew 24:38
For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
Don't get so caught up in the wedding planning that more important things take the back burner, especially spiritual activity and personal study.
2 Timothy 2:9
Likewise, the women should adorn themselves in appropriate dress, with modesty and soundness of mind, not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive clothing, 10 but in the way that is proper for women professing devotion to God, namely, through good works
Remain modest in dress and grooming. Dress as you like dressing as a Christian, not putting on a worldly costume of sorts just because that is what is glorified in the media.
Luke 14:28
28 For example, who of you wanting to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it?
Spend within your means, and also PLAN to spend within your means. Calculate the cost in advance.
Matthew 6:25
25 “On this account I say to you: Stop being anxious about your lives as to what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your bodies as to what you will wear. Does not life mean more than food and the body than clothing?
The marriage itself is the important part. The reception is not the marriage.
Do not buy into being overly anxious about these things.
Ecclesiastes 4:13
12 And someone may overpower one alone, but two together can take a stand against him. And a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn apart.
Keep Jehovah at the center of our relationship. Have a good spiritual routine, and in all our decisions think of how he would feel.
***Pray to Him, even silently, throughout the wedding day, too.
1 Corinthians 10:31
31 Therefore, whether you are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory.
Make this a celebration that brings glory to God, for a God
-honouring arrangement of marriage.
