How to Plan a Wedding That Brings Honor to Jehovah-HOW CAN YOU HONOR JEHOVAH -Continue

 Be modest. (Read 1 John 2:15-17.) Jehovah appreciates it when his worshippers seek to honor him rather than to bring improper attention to themselves. So modest Christians would avoid spending an excessive amount of money and making a "showy display." How will you benefit by keeping your wedding simple? Perhaps it will turn out as it did for Mike, a brother from Norway. He says: "We stayed out of debt and were able to continue pioneering. Our wedding was simple but still beautiful and memorable." Tabitha, a sister from India, says: "We avoided a lot of anxiety. By keeping our wedding simple, there was less to plan and to disagree over." 

Have you decided what you will wear? No doubt you want to look your best. Even in Bible times, a bride and groom paid close attention to how they looked. (Isaiah 61:10) Granted, what you wear to your wedding may be somewhat different from what you would wear on other occasions, but should not be less modest. (1 Timothy 2:9) Do not let clothing- or any other material thing-become the most noteworthy feature of your wedding. 1 Peter 3:3, 4.
