Like millions of others, I was up at
dawn to watch the wedding of Prince
Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. There's
nothing in the world to compete with
the pomp and ceremony that goes
with a royal wedding. Perhaps what
keeps us spellbound, and glued to our
television sets, is that it's like wat-
ching an old fairy tale play out before

sure most of us are romantic enough
to hope and pray that the coach of the
prince and his lovely bride will never
turn into a pumpkin, and that they
will, as in the old fairy tale, "live hap-
pily ever after!"
While the glitter and pageaptry
were spendid, I think 1 was as much
impressed by the length and
seriousness of the actual wedding
ceremony. Surely neither Andrew nor
Sarah could have been oblivious to the
solemnity of their vows or of the
sacredness of the many blessing and
prayers said on their behalf. It seem-
ed to be a wedding where God was
by Gwyn Whilsmith
that the bride and groom have any
serious thoughts about God. The
bride, the bridesmaids, the groom, his
attendants, the guests all may be
there but God may be missing.
Some years ago, I heard about one
particularly impressive church wed-
ding, complete with a beautiful bride,
glowing bridesmaids, and a hand-
some groom with his attendants.
Each of the bridesmaids carried a
bouquet while all the men had bouton-
nieres, and the little flower girl, ag-
ed four, held a dainty basket of
multiflowers. The group made a
magnificent appearance across the

front of the large, decorated church.
As the sonorous tones of the organ
stopped and everyone waited in .
silence for the minister to begin, the
little flower girl noticed that he had
no flower. Not wanting him to feel left
out she piped out in her ringing.
childish voice, "Look, we forgot God
.., give him a flower, too." And tak-
ing a posy from her own basket she
tried to reach it up to the minister
Mistaking the minister for God may
have showed that her religious train-
ing had not been very clear, but she
was right in one thing: (god shoulttot
be overlooked or forgotten' at a wed-
ding. A marriage without God is no
more than a contract of mutual
understanding and commitment, plus
a pleasant social gathering. Only
God's blessing can sanctify and make
holy a marriage contract between a
man and a woman.
To give God a predominate place at
a wedding is not to cast gloom over
the affair. Quite the contrary.
Remember when Jesus attended the
wedding at ('ana and the host ran out
of wine. In the East. hospitality was
a sacred duty and to run out of wine
on such an important occasion would
bring embarrassment. shame and
humiliation to the family It was nut
of sympathy, kindness and understan-
ding for simple people that Jesus
acted and changed -the water into
wine.
And so it ser nts good to me that God
was prominent at the royal wedding
which was surely one 01 the happiest
and most spectactular events of this
decade.
