Whilst those of us old enough to remember the sixties might have thought weddings would become obsolete for all but the faithful, they still seem for the majority of us to be the benchmark, the gold standard of a relationship.

This symbol of love, commitment and sacrifice between two people, albeit for most, no longer mirroring the union between God and His Church, endures.
