I was at a wedding with chosen family this past weekend in Atlanta, and what a joyous time it was. The venue was beautiful, as were the bride and her mom, our dear friend from way back. The food was delicious, the ceremony heartfelt. The live band at the reception rocked the room and had everybody dancing. In retrospect, a great wedding shares characteristics with great Sunday morning worship. All the proper pieces must be in place: in addition to a great pastor preaching a great Gospel, they include a warm and welcoming venue, outstanding hospitality, and engaging music. But those are the basics. It’s the extra touches that make a gathering special. At weddings and on Sundays, too.
People are primed to have a good time and enjoy themselves when they go to the trouble to show up for a wedding. They are invested in the happiness of the couple and the jubilant vibes of the event.
