Christian Getting Married on a Sunday

Can a christian get married on a Sunday?

Recently, Andrew's brother got married on a Sunday. The CHC pastor came and conducted their holy matrimony's in the late afternoon. I can't help it but wonder if my church leadership will do likewise, if a member choose to get married on a Sunday..hmmm?

The truth is it has never cross my mind to conduct our wedding on Sunday. It seems logical and correct to held one wedding on a Saturday instead. One reason for the church is the pastors are all in Church, and some, in multiple services.

Than what about holding a wedding on a Saturday? The church has activities too right? Than how?

I think if we have a large congregation or expected the church congregation to grow, we will encounter couples getting married on Saturday(when church has events), Sunday or even Christmas day.... unless you hold a mass wedding (but I prefer a private one though).

So should we put the church activities first and ask the couple to change date? Or should we bless and honour the couple (& family) and put the church activities to second place? After all, it's once a life time they are getting married and the church activities are ongoing.

Any comments, anyone?
