What does church has to do with marriage? Don't tell me the priest has a thing for someone's else wife. Or the Pope has pics of hot model in his personal computer. Remember God is watching.
Every bride and groom marry outside the church especially at backyard garden or near the shore. Two things that matter the most are the "commitment" and "bondage".
Priest: Eric, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.
Eric: I do
Priest: Vanessa, do you take this woman to be your lawfully husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.
Vanessa: I do
Priest: And now you may kiss the bride.
Look at Gwen and Gavin. They split up.
What happen to the promises "I do" they made to each other when the priest quote the statement, "to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." They ain't loving and cherish one another. Their marriage didn't last long. Gavin's infidelity ruined their marriage.
Accordingly to Hebrew's custom in the Old Testament, they wed outside.
Moses and Zipporah did not marry in the temple but outside near bonfire. Their marriage last long til their death.
Jacob wed Leah first outside then Rachel aftward at same place. Leah passed away and Rachel gave birth to Joseph (1st) and Benjamin (2nd).
King David and Michal wed outside then mate inside her home. Her loyalty to David was strong.
