Imagine a young couple about to be married who have just processed up the aisle of a traditional Christian c sanctuary amidst the traditional bridal march organ music. The pews are packed with invited guests. The altar has flowers, candles and other decorations. There is small aisle of both groomsmen and bridesmaids standing on either side of the couple. After the giving away of the bride to the groom, the pastor addresses the couple and congregation for a brief homily. One can hear the echoes of music of the party bus in the parking lot along the street in front of the church.
