“Do everything in a dignified and orderly way” (1 COR. 14:40).
1, 2. What does Jehovah want for engaged couples?
Jehovah wants the bride and groom to thoroughly enjoy their wedding day and have a very happy marriage. Furthermore, he wants their wedding to honor him. That is, he not only wants them to be happy on that special day, but he also wants everything to be done in a way that pleases him and that marks the beginning of a marriage in which Jehovah always comes first.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Clearly, it's an unforgettable day for the bride and groom, and not only for them, but also for Jehovah and their guests. At that moment, they also make vows or promises before Jehovah; that's why it's important that everything goes as He desires.
Jehovah, in his Word, gives us wise counsel. As Proverbs 5:18 says: “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth.” Therefore, Jehovah wants husbands to be happy and to enjoy their wedding and their marriage.
In this article, we will analyze which principles will help couples planning their wedding. The principles we will examine will also help all of us to honor Jehovah, whether we attend the wedding or are asked for advice.
This article is for couples getting married and shows us what Jehovah wants for them: he wants the happy couple. The question then becomes: what do the couple want? If they want to be happy, they will have to honor Jehovah.
WHY HONOR JEHOVAH
3. What should Christian couples consider when planning their wedding, and why?
When planning their wedding, couples should consider the principles Jehovah has set out in his Word. Jehovah is the Creator of marriage, and he was the one who married the first two humans, Adam and Eve. Therefore, for engaged couples, God’s viewpoint should always be the most important.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
They need to take into account the principles that Jehovah sets forth in his Word. Jehovah was the Creator of marriage and, in fact, he married the first humans. So, for the bride and groom as well as for everyone else, God’s viewpoint should be the most important.
They should always take into account the principles that Jehovah has established in his Word, the Bible. This is very important for marriage, because Jehovah is their Creator.
In Genesis 1:28 we see how Jehovah married these two humans and blessed them. In Genesis 2:24 he told them what he expected of them. So it makes sense that if a Christian couple—or even a non-Christian couple—wants to make a decision about their wedding, they should also consider what pleases Jehovah and what he expects of them.
4. What is another good reason to take Jehovah’s viewpoint into account when organizing a wedding?
Another good reason to consider Jehovah’s viewpoint when planning a wedding is that he is our heavenly Father and our best friend. Of course, we want to protect our friendship with him and avoid anything that happens on that day, or at any other time, that might hurt or offend him. Thinking about all that he has done for us motivates us to honor him on our wedding day and throughout our marriage.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Because Jehovah is their heavenly Father and their best Friend, Christian brides and grooms will naturally not want anything to happen on their wedding day that could offend him or hurt his feelings.
Psalm 116:12 asks a question we could all ask ourselves individually: “How can I repay Jehovah for all the good he has done for me?” In answering that question, we remember that Jehovah deserves our honor for all he has done for us, including on our wedding day.
Those who have married know from experience the challenges involved in making a wedding a success: the preparations, the guests, and many other details. However, in the midst of all that, we might sometimes forget the principles that Jehovah sets forth for a good marriage. If we have a good relationship with Jehovah, even when difficult times arise, we will know what to do and how to do it so that both the wedding and the marriage honor him.
It is beautiful when Psalm 25:14 says that close friendship with Jehovah is for those who fear him. That is why we want to do all we can to protect our friendship with him.
HOW TO HONOR JEHOVAH
5. How can the Bible help engaged couples make good decisions about their wedding?
The Bible can help engaged couples make good decisions about their wedding because, although it doesn't contain a list of rules about how a wedding or the subsequent celebration should be, it does contain Bible principles that can help them make the best choices. If the couple allows themselves to be guided by Bible principles, whatever decisions they make about their wedding, they will honor Jehovah and make him happy.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
If the couple follows Bible principles, whatever decisions they make, their wedding will honor Jehovah and make him happy.
What is clear is that the Bible does not establish a specific protocol regarding what should or should not be done at a wedding. However, it does contain principles that are sufficient to guide us in implementing what we consider to be in harmony with them.
Within these biblical principles, we must also take into account what is mentioned in Matthew 22:21: that there are local laws related to this matter and that we must respect them in order to honor Jehovah.
The world presents a wide range of circumstances, and Bible principles are what will guide us, since there cannot be a single rule for everyone, as circumstances are completely different. Therefore, these principles, and the priority of ensuring that marriage honors Jehovah, are what must prevail.
6. Why is it important for engaged couples to meet the legal requirements for marriage? (Romans 13:1, 2).
It is important that the couple meets the legal requirements to get married, because in most countries the laws establish certain requirements that must be met in order to get married.
Furthermore, as Christians, we obey the laws of the country or community where we live. Therefore, it is important to find out what the requirements are where you live. If necessary, you can ask the elders for help.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Because there is a Bible principle involved, that of Romans 13:1, 2, which shows that the superior authorities are placed in their relative positions by Jehovah. So in every country there are laws, and, as verse 2 indicates, whoever opposes the authority opposes a divine arrangement. Therefore, it is a very serious matter to respect the laws of each country.
Another key reason for fulfilling these legal requirements is that, without them, there essentially won't be a wedding. Requesting a date takes time, and until it's confirmed, the rest of the preparations can't begin. Therefore, it's essential to take the necessary time to comply with the legal requirements, submit the relevant certificates, have witnesses, and attend to all the details, as this process takes time.
The Watchtower mentioned in the article, the October 2006 issue, states that when Caesar Augustus ordered a certain registration, Mary and Joseph obeyed and traveled to Bethlehem to register, knowing it was their duty as citizens. Similarly, the Watchtower points out that some legal requirements may include obtaining a license, having the officiant be government-authorized, and properly registering the marriage. Therefore, all these points should be considered by those wishing to marry.
Something else mentioned in the October 2006 Watchtower is that when Christians get married legally and in a community-recognized ceremony, that union is sealed in God's eyes.
7. What kind of atmosphere should there be at weddings?
Weddings should reflect God's spirit, not the spirit of the world. For example, a Bible-based wedding speech, delivered with love, affection, and dignity, helps guests see that marriage is a gift from God. That is why many couples choose a Kingdom Hall for their ceremony.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The atmosphere should reflect Jehovah’s spirit, not the spirit of the world. Since the groom will be the head of the family, he should ensure that the entire wedding is well-organized and that Jehovah is the focus of that day, not other things.
It must be an appropriate environment in which the principle of 1 Corinthians 10:31, 32 is applied; that is, that whatever we do is for the glory of God and that, in addition, we avoid causing others to stumble.
Also, a Bible-based wedding speech, delivered with love, affection, and dignity, demonstrates that marriage is a gift from God and that the wedding is an important and serious occasion.
One Watchtower mentions something very nice about the talk given by the brothers who wish to present it. It says that, when they give it, they acknowledge that Jehovah is the Originator of marriage and that, moreover, his Word provides wise counsel for marriage partners to be happy during their marriage.
In many places, Jehovah's Witnesses weddings can be held in venues other than Kingdom Halls. Sometimes there may be no other option because a Kingdom Hall is unavailable. However, the best setting for a Christian wedding is a Kingdom Hall. Therefore, couples should take this into consideration and, whenever possible, request a Kingdom Hall in advance for their wedding.
8. What can the bride and groom do to create a dignified atmosphere at the celebration? (Romans 13:13).
To ensure a dignified atmosphere at the celebration, the couple should make sure it doesn't reflect the spirit of the world. If they decide to serve alcoholic beverages, they should take precautions beforehand to prevent anyone from drinking too much.
If there will be music, please ensure it is kept at a volume that allows attendees to converse comfortably. It is also important to consider the type of music played and the content of the lyrics to avoid offending anyone.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
They must supervise and control everything that will happen at the wedding. They should avoid following the style of weddings or events in the world, which are often chaotic parties. For example, they should control the volume of the music, determine whether or not there will be alcoholic beverages and, if so, in what quantity and how they will be served, among other details. All of this will demonstrate that the couple has taken care to ensure that this special day honors not only their wedding, but above all, Jehovah.
What's described in the paragraph is quite complicated, because sometimes the couple organizes everything perfectly, but upon arriving at the reception hall, problems arise with the music volume. People are accustomed to very high volumes, and even if the groom has given instructions, someone might act differently. Therefore, ways are suggested to relieve the couple of some of the responsibility on such an important day, so that others can help them.
Another very important thing to keep in mind is the type of music that will be played. Often there's music and dancing, which is lovely, but it's also necessary to be sure about the type of music and the content of the lyrics. It's not enough for it to be popular music worldwide to be appropriate for a Christian wedding. Sometimes there are songs in other languages, and we might not know what they mean, but it's good to check, because there will surely be people who do understand them, and we don't want anyone to feel offended.
The video about whether alcoholic beverages should be served mentions principles such as John 2:9, which recounts Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding, and 1 Corinthians 6:10, which states that drunkards will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Therefore, the bride and groom should ensure that neither they nor their guests cause others to stumble. While none of these principles provides a direct answer about whether alcohol should be served, the key is to find a balance and consider all of them.
The couple should consider several principles and also get to know their guests, as some may have a history of alcohol-related issues. Therefore, it's ideal to have everything well-organized and under control to avoid any problems.
9. What should the couple take into account regarding what will be done during the celebration?
The couple should consider whether the words, images, videos, or any other form of entertainment presented are appropriate and uplifting. They should ask themselves if what is presented will be worthy, demonstrate respect for their marriage, and, above all, honor Jehovah.
While some humor is acceptable, indecent or sexually suggestive comments should be avoided. Furthermore, it's important to ensure that all participants understand and respect the couple's wishes.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Philippians 4:8 tells us to constantly think about all things that are true, serious, righteous, chaste, and loving. During the wedding celebration, it may be planned that some family members or friends will say a few words or present pictures or videos, but it is always important to make sure that everything presented is appropriate, uplifting, and, above all, honors Jehovah.
Sometimes wedding surprises are arranged by people other than the bride and groom. In such cases, those organizing these surprises should also keep biblical principles in mind, so that the entire wedding is enjoyable and nothing inappropriate happens—that is, so that the surprise doesn't turn out negatively or dishonor the occasion.
An interesting point mentioned in the paragraph is that, although there may be room for good humor, one should avoid what Ephesians 5:3 says: there are certain things that should not even be mentioned among us, as is proper among holy people.
Obscene jokes or indecent or sexually suggestive comments should be avoided. This is especially true in an environment where alcohol has been consumed, sometimes leading people to say or do inappropriate things.
The bride and groom should always put Jehovah's viewpoint on that moment and that celebration first; in that way, everything will be acceptable to everyone.
10. Why should couples be modest when organizing their wedding? (1 John 2:15-17).
When planning their wedding, couples should be modest, because Jehovah values his servants' efforts to honor him rather than focusing on themselves. For this reason, they should avoid ostentation, that is, showing off what they don't have, and not spend excessive sums of money.
Furthermore, by having a simple wedding, they can avoid unnecessary debt and thus continue providing their services without worry. Also, by keeping things simple, they'll have fewer decisions to make and fewer disagreements, saving themselves a lot of stress.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
We don't want to be ostentatious or boast about our wealth, but rather to honor Jehovah. Everything we do should be done in a dignified manner, ensuring that the celebration doesn't leave anyone in debt; otherwise, it could be a bad start to the marriage, as it could lead to marital conflicts later on.
One brother commented that by having a simple wedding and not incurring many expenses, they were able to continue with their lives and fulfill their pioneering duties. Meanwhile, a sister from India pointed out something very interesting: the simpler the wedding, the fewer decisions there will be to make, the fewer disagreements will arise, and therefore, the less stress there will be.
ILLUSTRATION
Images of brother and sister weddings in different parts of the world. 1. In a Kingdom Hall, the bride and groom are seated facing the brother who is giving the wedding talk. 2. At an outdoor wedding reception, a brother and sister are congratulating the newlyweds. 3. Two newlyweds are lining up with their guests to serve themselves buffet-style food. 4. At an outdoor wedding, the bride and groom are standing facing the brother who is giving the talk.
Anywhere in the world, we Witnesses can celebrate simple, beautiful weddings that we will remember fondly. (See paragraphs 10 and 11.)
11. How can the bride and groom show modesty in their dress and grooming? (See also the pictures.)
The bride and groom demonstrate modesty in their attire when their clothing choices, while perhaps slightly different from what they might wear on other occasions, are decent and appropriate. Furthermore, they should not allow their clothing or any other material possessions to become the focal point of the wedding.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The bride and groom can demonstrate modesty in their attire, ensuring it is decent and appropriate for the occasion. As 1 Timothy 2:9 states, clothing should not be flashy or extravagant, but rather reflect good judgment and respect.
Of course, the clothes the bride and groom choose may be somewhat different from what is worn on other occasions, but, in any case, they must be decent and appropriate.
Isaiah 61:10 shows that it is normal to give importance to personal appearance on the wedding day. For example, the verse mentions the groom wearing a turban and the bride adorned with her jewelry. We also see in the imagery that there are many ways to do this, depending on the country's customs, and that biblical principles can be applied everywhere in the world.
The bride and groom should avoid making their clothing the most important or prominent feature of their wedding. We see in the pictures that everyone is well-dressed, but without being extravagant.
Judging by the images, we can see what weddings are like in India. There, weddings last four days or more, sometimes up to seven, and the social pressure is immense. For example, the bride is expected to wear different clothes each day. If someone prefers a more elegant wedding dress, that's also possible; many brides don't even wear a new dress, but rather borrow one. However, from the very beginning, the most important thing is modesty and avoiding unnecessary expenses, even if the money is available.
In the photo below on the left, we see how the bride and groom have not focused on material things and, although they have a banquet that is surely very tasty, it is simple and not ostentatious.
The photo below shows a sister and brother wearing their traditional regional costumes, which are modest yet look lovely. They have also incorporated customs from their region into their wedding.
12. Why should engaged couples make sure to reject customs that are not in accordance with what the Bible says?
Couples must make sure to reject customs that are not in accordance with what the Bible says, because Jehovah clearly warns us that we must stay away from all such impure things.
In Satan's world, weddings often include customs related to false religion, the occult, or superstitions. For this reason, couples should learn about the customs and traditions common in their communities.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
No matter what country we live in, many wedding customs have their origins in false religions or are related to the occult or superstitions. Therefore, if as Christians we strive daily to heed warnings like the one at Revelation 18:4, distancing ourselves from all these customs so as not to become accomplices in Jehovah's eyes, it is also important to apply this principle when celebrating a wedding.
If doubts arise about the customs or traditions of the place where we live, the advice we have seen previously applies again: use our ability to reason to weigh biblical principles and thus make a good decision.
As Christians, we want nothing to do with false religion, for it would be like sitting at the table of demons. As verse 17 says, “Come out from among them.” That is, we must distance ourselves as much as possible from customs or traditions that have their roots in the occult or false religion.
13. How can engaged couples show that they view gifts as Jehovah does?
The bride and groom can show that they view gifts as Jehovah does by ensuring that guests don't feel obligated to give a gift or that a simple present won't be enough. They should strive to see gifts as Jehovah does and express gratitude for any gift they receive, valuing it for the love with which it is given rather than for its material worth.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The bride and groom should show their gratitude, value each gift they receive with love, and not make those who give them feel that they are doing so out of obligation.
2 Corinthians 9:7 says that God loves a cheerful giver and that one should not give reluctantly. The passage indicates that the bride and groom do not want their guests to feel obligated to give a gift that might be considered insufficient.
If weddings are modestly organized and the couple views gifts as Jehovah does, they won't worry about meeting expectations or whether the guests will live up to them. The important thing is that they consider gifts as expressions of love, not as an obligation.
Another principle that couples can keep in mind is that found in Acts 20:35, which says that there is more happiness in giving than in receiving. This is one of the happiest and most important days for a marriage and a family, so they shouldn't expect anything from others, but rather be generous themselves and, when receiving gifts, show gratitude.
HOW TO RESOLVE CERTAIN SITUATIONS
14. What difficulties do some couples face?
Some couples face cultural, family, and social pressures when planning their wedding. These situations can make the planning process a real challenge for those who want to honor Jehovah.
It can be difficult to keep a wedding simple when your culture expects you to invite many people. You may also face pressure from family members to have a bigger or more lavish celebration. In some places, comparisons with other weddings and the importance placed on social standing also play a role.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Some couples face culturally specific challenges. For example, in some cultures, everyone expects to be invited to the wedding, which isn't always possible; furthermore, in other cultures, it's common to have a large number of guests.
The paragraph mentions the example of Sara, who is from India. It says that social standing is very important at weddings and that some of her cousins and relatives had very lavish weddings, which put a lot of pressure on her to make hers even more extravagant.
15. Why is it important to pray about everything related to the wedding?
It is important to pray about everything related to the wedding because when the bride and groom talk to Jehovah about any decisions they have to make and any concerns they have, he will help them to make better choices, to stay calm when they are stressed, and to be courageous when necessary.
Furthermore, as they see how Jehovah answers their prayers, their trust in him will grow stronger and they will truly see how he helps them maintain peace.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Because in such a situation, one can ask Jehovah for help in making good decisions, remaining calm, and having the courage to carry out what has been decided. Furthermore, the study note points out that in any situation, one can pray to Jehovah, as long as it is in accordance with his will. Therefore, if the couple shares their fears, doubts, and anxieties with Jehovah, he will surely provide a way out.
It's a very stressful time: many decisions to be made in a short period, and at least two opinions to consider, not to mention those of parents or other relatives. Therefore, Jehovah's help will be indispensable. Maintaining the calm he provides through prayer will help in making the best decisions.
Tabitha explains that before they even started discussing the plans, they always said a prayer because they were worried about potential disagreements with their families, and she says that it gave them peace. Praying frequently about everything related to the ceremony is undoubtedly very important.
16, 17. Why is good communication important when organizing a wedding?
Good communication is essential when planning a wedding, as it requires the couple to make many decisions, such as the date, guest list, and budget. Before making each decision, it's crucial that they discuss together the applicable biblical principles and seek advice from mature Christians.
When expressing their opinions, they should be kind, understanding, and flexible, especially when family members make reasonable requests; in such cases, they should try to accommodate them. If they cannot accept a request, they should explain their reasons tactfully and caringly.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
As Proverbs 15:22 says, good communication is essential for your plans to succeed and not fail. This is even more crucial for weddings, as you'll need to make many decisions, such as setting the date, managing the budget, and creating the guest list, so clear and respectful communication is key.
One situation that requires very good communication is when the parents are not Jehovah's Witnesses, as they may have a view of marriage that does not align with Bible principles. Explaining this to them can be difficult, but it should be done with great care and tact.
India is a culture where Hindu traditions are closely intertwined with celebrations. A brother from India named Santhosh relates that they made a distinction between traditions that honored Jehovah and those that had no effect on true worship. They yielded on the latter and prioritized those that did have an effect on Jehovah, avoiding incorporating them into the wedding.
Brother Santhosh's experience also indicates that it took a long time for them to understand his point of view. Therefore, situations like this can require a great deal of patience and time.
While it's clear the couple should make decisions about guests and other aspects, sometimes parents are insistent, even if they are witnesses. However, if the couple disagrees with their parents' wishes, they can express it respectfully, understanding that ultimately, the parents will do or decide what they deem appropriate. When there's disagreement, patience and understanding are key.
18. What will help the bride and groom to make everything go as planned? (1 Corinthians 14:40; see also the picture.)
Having everything well-organized will help the couple ensure that everything goes as planned. By planning carefully, they will likely experience less stress on their wedding day. It's important to show respect for the guests by doing everything possible to adhere to the established schedule.
In addition, a few days before the wedding they could have a small meeting with those who offered to help them, review the preparations and rehearse some parts of the ceremony to make sure that everything goes as planned.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The paragraph states that it is highly recommended to plan and review everything before the ceremony. It's important to ensure that everything is ready, as mentioned, so that the wedding runs smoothly. Furthermore, this helps anticipate any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.
You can also take advantage of the help offered by those who offer to support the couple, because it's undoubtedly a day when they'll want to relax and there will surely be some nerves. But if they plan everything carefully and organize it well, the wedding will go well.
In the image, we see this couple, who meticulously planned the wedding reception, the seating arrangements, and even made copies and scheduled a specific time with the siblings who wanted to help. Although these decisions had already been made by the couple, when presenting their ideas, we can see that the groom is the one speaking about what they had already agreed upon.
ILLUSTRATION
A couple who are already engaged are explaining their wedding plans to several friends who are going to help them. The groom is showing them the seating arrangements for the reception on a tablet.
Planning the wedding carefully will help ensure that everything goes as planned. (See paragraph 18).
19. What will help the bride and groom control what happens during the reception?
It will help the couple to be proactive and plan ahead to control what happens during the reception. For example, taking steps to prevent uninvited guests from attending.
In addition, they can explain to family members who are not Witnesses what our weddings are like and how certain customs are observed; they can even show them the article on jw.org “What are Jehovah’s Witness weddings like?”
They can also designate a mature brother as "banquet director" to oversee the reception and help ensure that everything runs smoothly and according to plan.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Good communication will be key. Although the couple makes the decisions and plans, for everything to be successful and to avoid, as much as possible, setbacks, it is important that they consider who needs to have certain information about the plans or decisions they have made.
The paragraph mentions that, to better manage the reception, a mature brother should be considered as the master of ceremonies. This is very appropriate, especially if he can be given guidelines on what to do if someone is drinking too much, for example, by instructing the waiter to stop serving. This way, the bride and groom are given some protection and problems are prevented.
In some places, it's common for uninvited people to crash the party. If we've carefully planned and organized everything, and someone unexpected shows up who doesn't follow our rules of conduct, it could jeopardize everything. That's why it's important to consider every detail.
Proverbs 22:3 mentions that “the prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.” This tells us to be prepared, to plan everything in advance so that unforeseen events, as the brother said, don't ruin the wedding.
20. What should couples keep in mind?
The bride and groom should keep in mind that their wedding day is just one day, the first of what could be a wonderful life together serving Jehovah. Therefore, they should do their best to make it a dignified and simple occasion. If they allow themselves to be guided by Jehovah, they will be able to enjoy a wedding that, in time, they will look back on with a smile.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Couples should first and foremost praise Jehovah and be guided by Bible principles, recognizing that marriage is not simply a contract they will sign, but a lifelong vow. In this way, they will ultimately remember their wedding as the best they could have ever had and wouldn't change a thing, because they gave all the praise to Jehovah.
Psalms 37:3-4 says that we should trust in Jehovah and do good, and He will grant us the desires of our heart.
WHAT WOULD YOU ANSWER?
Why do couples want their wedding to honor Jehovah?
The couple wants their wedding to honor Jehovah because he is the Creator of marriage, and his viewpoint should be paramount when organizing the ceremony. Furthermore, Jehovah is their heavenly Father and their best friend, and they want to protect their friendship with him by ensuring that nothing that happens on that day—or any other—will hurt or offend him.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Because we love our friend Jehovah, the Creator of marriage, and, because we love him, we do not want anything that happens at the wedding to make him sad.
What will help the couple create a dignified and appropriate atmosphere on their wedding day?
It will help them to ensure that the ceremony reflects the fruit of God's Spirit and not the spirit of the world. The groom, as head of the new family, should contribute to making the wedding a dignified and joyous occasion.
It is also important to plan the reception in a way that does not reflect the spirit of the world: control alcohol consumption, keep the music at a volume that allows for comfortable conversation, and carefully review the type of music and song lyrics so that no one feels offended.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Making preparations in advance will help them, as will thinking about what can and cannot be done, and above all, following the counsel of Jehovah, who designed and created marriage. In this way, they will have a greater chance of success.
What will help the couple is ensuring that the wedding reflects the fruit of God's Spirit and not the spirit of the world. They should take steps in advance regarding whether alcoholic beverages will be served and the type of music played, to ensure a dignified atmosphere and that no one feels offended.
It is also very important that, since the couple has many decisions to make, they pray frequently before making each one.
How will couples benefit if they choose to have a simple wedding?
If the couple chooses to have a simple wedding, they will avoid unnecessary debt, allowing them to continue their service to Jehovah without worries.
They'll have fewer decisions to make and fewer disagreements, which reduces stress during the preparations. That way, they'll enjoy their wedding day more and be able to remember the occasion fondly, even if the celebration is simple.
Furthermore, being modest in dress and grooming shows respect for Jehovah and prevents material things from becoming the highlight of the wedding, contributing to a balanced and dignified atmosphere.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Having a simple wedding can save a lot of potentially unnecessary expenses and also reduces stress for the couple, since organizing a wedding involves a lot of work and planning. To avoid further complications, opting for a simple wedding is recommended.
I went through a very painful time in my marriage when my husband left me, and I felt completely lost. I later sought guidance from Dr. Agbazara, and over time, my relationship was restored.
