Renewing Wedding Vows

Our church has been doing a life lesson on Red Hot Monogamy. Pastor Dan has been talking for over a month now on God's view of what marriage is and should be about. How we are supposed to live that life of marriage according to the Bible.

Well we are almost done with this life lesson and the church planned a Renewing of Wedding Vows Sunday. It was beautiful!!!! They talked about in the Jewish faith (which our's is based on cuz my King was Jewish) and the meaning of the hupa (sp) canopy. Why it is designed the way it is and what it all stands for. They also taught about the Celtic tradition of wrapping your (husband/wives) hands with a white piece of cloth and how that shows the binds that bind us together as husband and wife. They had 4 stations around the church and renewed the vows of 2 couples at a time at each station. You were surrounded by your family (kids too) and they had the kids place their hands on ours showing our committment to them as well. It was just beautiful. Of course I cried some, romatic fool that I am. We also had a couple picture taken. Once they email them to us I will try to post it here as well. They even had a station for those dating or engaged to have their own committment ceremony and for those who were single to commit themselves to God again or maybe even for the first time. They really thought of everyone and engaging everyone in the whole service. They did a GREAT job as far as I am concerned.
