I can understand that church is important to people ... but I can’t see that the church has any authority in marriage. There’s absolutely nothing in the Bible that speaks to that.
The only thing we have is a bunch of “tradition” ... but tradition is not inerrant and authoritative like the Bible is.
BUT, as I said, if people “like tradition” and want pretty pictures ... sure that’s okay, but it’s not required by God or His Word.
You haven't talked with Catholics in the religion forum, have you? ;)
