Hello World,
I love a good love story, and when it ends in a beautiful wedding, what is better than that?! Well, multiply one good love story that ends in a beautiful wedding by 14, and you have what happened at Concord Church in Dallas, Texas this past Sunday. According to WFAA.com, 90 days ago Concord Pastor Bryan L. Carter invited 14 couples in his congregation who were living together to get married at the church’s expense. The church paid for the cost of the joint ceremony including the rings, dresses, tuxedos, reception costs, etc. along with 10 weeks of marriage counseling.
Pastor Carter told WFAA, “Our goal was to remove every barrier that was in place: Financially… timing…. all of that.”
Would you participate in a joint wedding ceremony if all the expenses were paid? Do you think more churches should sponsor similar joint ceremonies? Or do you think churches should stay out of grown people’s business?
Any thoughts?
