BEFORE I BEGIN, I’D LIKE TO SAY BLESSINGS!

My boyfriend and I want to get married but we don’t want a wedding ceremony. The ceremony is not a big deal to us, but considering the fact that we are close to our families, they want to keep tradition and share that day with us. So, our dilemma is, “Should we have a wedding ceremony because we love our family and we don’t want to offend anyone or stick to what we believe?” I am ok with either one but I don’t have peace with either choice. So I’m looking for some spiritual guidance and help from you (I would truly appreciate your honest opinion). Here are the reasons why we don’t want to have a ceremony:

We believe couples have made a mockery of marriage. As time goes by it seems as though a marriage ceremony becomes the origin and an idol in some relationships. The wedding consists of buying the most expensive: dress, ring, location, food etc; the bigger the better. It is viewed as if you buy the groom or bride whatever they want and impress everyone, then their relationship is perfect and so will the marriage be in the years to come. I have personally seen this to be a façade in a lot of cases growing up. Now money isn’t an issue but people forget that what we see is temporary, the unseen is everlasting. WE do not believe that a piece of paper, or man telling us in front of everyone,” I now pronounce u man and wife” on one day solidifies the infinite love we already share.. That day comes and goes quicker than you can blink no amount of money or any material object signifies AGAPE. We love and treat each other “now” as if we are married; the journey has already begun, way before we even met in this form, the spirit led us to one another but it already knew who we were and what we were going to be to each other.

Our vow to one another is to love and serve others, so having a ceremony would be for them not for US. A wedding ceremony does not show the significance of our Love. Our love is timeless…..



Blessings!
