Romantic Wedding
What is a romantic wedding or what makes a wedding romantic?
Does it depend on how well your wedding planner manages it or where it takes place? Most couples planning a wedding would answer in the affirmative to these and other similar questions.
Another point of view is that somewhere in the word romantic love must appear and have its part.
So what is love?
According to the movie industry it has to have its physical nature and of course that physical consummation must be earned by the protagonists in the movie who will go out of their way to not only accomplish heroic deeds but almost as important accomplish something really unusual of some kind.
Are we getting lost I thought this article was on romantic weddings?
So out of all the troubles that the main characters of most films must go through to earn the respect of the audience someone must sacrifice for someone else. Now that is what makes something romantic for the chocolate eating, headset music listening and movie following crowds catered to by Hollywood.
What makes a wedding the most romantic is waiting. Waiting what? Just like the movie audiences must wait to see the grandiose end to their flicks, so getting married is all about waiting for someone else. If there is no waiting there is no love or romance to what is happening.
Stop and think about it: Can anything be really enjoyed without waiting for it?
Waiting is the most important element to having something really good to enjoy and so it is to being romantic because it relates to patience and real love is always patient with someone else. As the Bible states: Love is patient.
It is for this reason that the bride comes in a few minutes late and is the last to arrive to every wedding!
The wedding is a picture of how the bridegroom must wait if he really loves the bride. Christians too must wait for their Savior to return and that requires patience endurance.
How good is it if someone promises to give you their own car or something else that they own on certain date in the future and you go to their home way ahead of time and steal it before they have a chance to give it to you. Would that be good or right? Is what has been promised to you "yours" before it is given to you? Of course not! And neither is your fiancée yours until you get married.
Says who? Someone who is always watching us and sees everything we do including those things that are done in secret and that nobody else knows about.
But why should I wait for something good and natural, God given if you will, when he has allowed me to have it now? I might not be able to enjoy it later because it might not be around any longer.
God … says so and he promised that the greatest enjoyment is experienced by those who wait to get married before taking the keys to that car and driving off.
Waiting is what makes a wedding romantic and that statement comes from the author of love.
