What do you think about what was said at this Christian wedding I went to?

Asked by JLeslie (65447points) December 30th, 2012

I am particularly interested in what Christians have to say. If Christians can tell me if what was said is common at Christian weddings.

I went to a wedding last night and during the ceremony the Minister (I am not sure if that is the right title) said basically to the bride and groom they had chosen a hard path, an unpopular path, a politically incorrect path with so much against them now to choose to be Christians.

There was other stuff said during the wedding that bothered me, but this stood out most to me as being completely inappropriate. No wonder Christians feel everyone is against them, they are told it in church, even during a wedding ceremony! Why or why would this happen? This day should be about the union of this beautiful couple, their commitment to each other, and the life they will build. I even would be completely fine with throwing in building their Christian life and relationship with God, I mean it is a church service after all, but to say the outside world is against them?

What do you think? Am I overreacting? Is this common?

Of course in the end who cares about the details this minister said. The evening was wonderful, the couple is beautiful inside and out, and everyone had a good time at the reception. Well, I did.
