No money changing hands - no authority to regulate. Simple.
Hmmmm......
Whatcha thinkin'?
This has been a personal pet peeve of mine for quite some time. I know a lot of folks expect an extravagant church wedding - and that's all fine if they want it. But God's Church should not, IMO, require payment for a ceremony to sanction the joining together of a man and a woman in Holy Matrimony. I don't see where that is in accordance to the Bible this is supposed to be based in. Nor do I agree with the customary promotion of such weddings (the ones that cost money) by the church community. Of course - -I can only speak for Biblical Christian faith as I understand it (and I'm trying really hard). I can't see any justification for a Christian wedding in a Christian Church having a price tag.
