I have the privilege of marrying a couple this coming week. It's something I've never done before. I consider it a big honor and something special... like doing something in your life that you know people will never forget. I've had the privilege of saving two pregnancies from abortion. I know they will never forgot the hour we spent together that changed their minds, and I will never forget them.
I remember the man who married us, but not with fondness. He did a terrible job of giving us premarital counseling, did OK at the ceremony, but a few years later betrayed us and disgraced himself. In the end, we wish we would have chosen someone else to marry us!
With this couple, I know they're happy with the premarital counseling I gave them- that's why they asked me to marry them. I hope I will do a good job during the ceremony (please pray for me). And, I hope they will always have fond memories of me- that I helped them in their love for one another, drew them closer to the Lord, and live my life in such a way as to not bring shame to them in the future. It's a special memory in some one's life, and I don't want to tarnish it.
