The wedding hour
Commentary
The wedding liturgy in my denomination begins with a paragraph that includes this line: "Our Lord Jesus Christ adorned this manner of life by his presence and first miracle at a wedding of Cana in Galilee" (Book of Common Prayer, 423). That reasoning has always seemed shaky -- Jesus endorsed the idea of marriage simply by attending one? He spent a lot more time on the Sea of Galilee; are we to conclude that boating is a sacred occupation, and fishing a sacrament?
