Bible Verses for a Wedding
A wedding is one of the few days when a whole room agrees to believe in love out loud. Scripture has shaped marriage vows for centuries, and for good reason. It describes a love that is patient and kind, that keeps no record of wrongs, that bears all things and never gives up. The verses here are often chosen for ceremonies and readings, and they are just as fitting inside an anniversary card or said quietly between two people who have kept their promise for years. Choose one that sounds like you.
