Wedding comes in many packages. There are as many customs regarding wedding as there are languages on earth. Some couples get married in churches, some in temples. Others hold their wedding by the beach, or in the garden. But these two friends of ours were wedded in front of a coffin!
Here’s a piece of their story. Willy and Nita had been having a serious relationship for some time – and he was sure to marry her. But, prior to the wedding plan, her father passed away. Thus, according to the Javanese custom, they were married off before her father’s coffin.
It took them over half a year before the two of them can come before the congregation to be blessed in a holy matrimony. This morning, we have the honor to witness their wonderful union in front of the assembly of believers.
Congratulations, Willy and Nita!
“For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh” (Ephesians 5:31).
