Funny how clear it seems when it is the RCC doing it, but not when it is your own group (obviously not actually your group).
I see a wedding as two things. First a public statement of a commitment to each other for life, then second, an invitation to join in celebrating that commitment with merriment. (Well, not as much merriment in a LC reception, but still the idea is there.)
Spending a lot of time talking about oneness and Christ and the Church seems to be using a wedding as pretense to preach to everyone else. It seems upside down. Instead they should take a little bit of oneness theology and some "Christ and the Church" as something instructional to the couple for their practical marriage.
Thanks for the comments.
