Wedding Bibles

Wedding Bibles

Before ordering that skyscraper wedding cake and symphony for your wedding, consider that most of those lavish weddings ended in divorce, including the $3+ million Gest-Minelli nuptial that lasted only 1 year.

There's no correlation between the extravagance of a wedding and the longevity or the happiness of the marriage. If there is one, it may even be a negative correlation.

The cost aside, a word about its process. For many couples, the planning turns into a full-time production with endless details to study, select, manage and schedule that takes not only time and money but also causes stress and anxiety. At the conclusion of their wedding, many couples express fatigue and relief more than anything else.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Consider the memorable JFK Jr. wedding to Caroline Bassette in 1996 on a deserted island in Georgia.

Their chapel (right) was a building that didn't even have electricity, and all they brought were their wedding rings and Bibles.

Speaking of Bibles, for $100, 100 Bibles can be given to the persecuted Christians in countries where Bibles are banned, and for every 100 Bibles given, 500 new people on average come to believe in Jesus, and in turn need their own Bibles.

So instead of spending $30000 or $3 million to run with the herd, why not save yourself the time and stress, and donate some of the money you save to Bibles and wining souls? After all, shouldn't everything - including your wedding - glorify and serve Christ? What would glorify and serve Him more: a Tower of Babel of a wedding cake or Bibles for new Christians?

For $5000, 2500 Bibles can reach them and over 10000 souls won for Christ. For $50000, that number rises to 25000 Bibles and 100000 souls saved. And for $500000, 250000 Bibles can reach the lost and over a million souls saved.
