Here are a few items of the modern marriage ceremony that are reminiscent of Scripture, especially representing our relationship with God and His efforts to reach out to us. How many more can you come up with?
The Veil, signifying the protection of a relationship which is special and only available after a solemn commitment: 2 Corinthians 3:15
The White Dress, signifying one who has kept herself pure for the one she is promised to: Revelation 19:7-8
The Wedding Reception, a meal to celebrate the commitment and new relationship: Revelation 19:9
The guests' Wedding Clothes, meant to support the serious commitment and love to be shared, Matthew 22:11-12
Walking down the aisle, signifying the serious nature of the commitment: "May this happen to me if I break this covenant:" Genesis 15:9-19
The courtship, representing how God seeks us when we are far from Him: Hosea 2:14-20
