Tomorrow, I am going to Ballater to share in Simon and Nicole's wedding. This morning, I have been trying to weave some of the comments on Simons blog into a short sermon at the Service. One quote about marriage by Eugene Petersen is especially worth reflecting on at a wedding service.
“Weddings are easy; marriages are difficult. Weddings are important. They are beautiful; they are impressive; they are emotional; sometimes they are expensive; they are fraught with details; and they are memorable. Still they are easy.Marriage is complex and difficult. In marriage we work out in every detail of life the promises and commitments spoken at the wedding. In marriage we develop the long and rich life of faithful love that the wedding announces. The event of the wedding without the life of marriage doesn’t amount to much.”
