Focus on the Purpose of the Wedding

When planning a wedding, it's crucial to remember that the purpose of the event is to celebrate the union between two individuals, not to focus solely on the material aspects like the dress, the cake, or other details that may lose significance over time. It's emphasized that the day should serve as a reflection pointing back to Jesus, the ultimate giver of the gift of marriage, rather than becoming a celebration of narcissism.
