Today we come and celebrate the love of Jereme and Jessica.
We celebrate God joining together two very different people with the most powerful force in all creation, Love.
Solomon in all his wisdom said of love,
Song of solomon
Hang my locket around your neck,
wear my ring on your finger.
Love is invincible facing danger and death.
Passion laughs at the terrors of hell.
The fire of love stops at nothing—
it sweeps everything before it.
Flood waters can’t drown love,
torrents of rain can’t put it out.
Love can’t be bought, love can’t be sold—
it’s not to be found in the marketplace.
Love is the power of creation, love is the voice calling light out of darkness.
Love was the force that calmed the storm, that raised the dead, and willingly died in our place.
As John so aptly put it. - God is Love.

When a man and a woman share in this powerful force of love, they are in fact sharing in the Divine nature of God.
When a man and a woman share in this powerful force of love, they are in fact sharing in the Divine nature of God.
As love overtakes us we find -
That the other becomes more important than our self.
That the treasures of this world pale in comparison to the company of our love.
That pain, sorrow, and poverty become bearable in the presence of our love.

Yet there is more to love than simply feelings.
Yet there is more to love than simply feelings.
The Apostle John also wrote;
Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

Love is a covenant
Love is a covenant
A covenant of promises between a man and woman and God.
A time will come when youthful passions will fade - but love will still be there.
Times of sorrow will surely come - but love will remain.
Times of doubt will fill your minds but - love will remain.
Love is not simply an emotion - it is a bond built by God that can withstand the powers of Hell, and the floods of life.

Jereme and Jessica, today you will be making promises to one another and to God. These promises will be the bedrock of your love and give your love the ability to grow and mature.
Do not takes these promises lightly. For not only are you making these promises to one another but, you are making them to God as well.
Your parents are here, your loved ones and friends are here but the most amazing guest of all is God.
Today God stands in this room, by your side.
As God gave Eve to Adam, today God gives you both to each other.

let no one split apart what God has joined together.”
