Yes, weddings are a party. But for many of us, they’re also a religious sacrament. For a good segment of the population, a wedding involves a church ceremony performed by a religious figure. That’s why it could make sense to consider including bible verses for your wedding invitations.
In the midst of your wedding planning, one of the things you are going to need to do is pick out invitations. You are also going to need to figure out what you want on the invitations, too.
Your mind may be blanking – we get it, it’s a lot! So, in addition to having the wedding information on there such as location, time, date, and so on, also consider including a Bible Verse. It’s a unique, classy touch to add.

Bible Verses About Love

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
