Reality that isn't Real

Next month My wife and I will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. So far it has been a blast. Nothing, nothing compares to the adventure of living live with the person you have committed sharing your life with. Not only has married life been a blast but the wedding was great too.

We had and Amazing Wedding Week. Not just the Wedding the whole week leading up to it was a special time for me. My closest friends traveled up early to spend time with my one came from England the rest from all over the east coast. Some who weren’t in the wedding showed up days before the wedding and just crashed on my floor. And in the Span of just a few days we had more experiences that have become stories that will be told over and over.

10. One of My Friends wrote a song for my wedding and some day when he is a famous Rockstar I am going to sell it on eBay.

9. 6 friends who were not in the party (they had been invited to the wedding) showed up the night of the rehearsal with no place to stay we ended up with 14 people sleeping on my in-laws floor.

8. My New Zealand friend who was living in England spent 30 minutes trying to explain the definition of savory to a Haitian worker at Dunkin Donuts

7. One friend (Aaron Guest) measured himself for his TUX using a ruler so we changed the measurements and fell to our knees laughing when his pants feel to his knees.

6. The night before the wedding we set up a Rock band in the attic of the church but know one could agree what songs to cover so everyone played what they wanted at the same time.

5. The night before the wedding we played full contact wiffle ball in the parking lot.

4. At 2AM we rolled into Suffern Diner and I ordered and ate three entrees

3. On the way from the wedding I left my Wallet in the limo and we almost missed the plane which ended up being delayed several hours anyway.

2. The night before the wedding I fell of the roof of the church and friend stepped off after me. (he convinced people that he was trying to save me but really he was just so dumb he stepped of after I did)

Before the wedding we were standing outside waiting to go in and I was so nervous I ended up having to pee really bad and so I ended up peeing on the side of the church building (I was the Youth Pastor at the time)

And the list Goes on, But… the other night My Wife and I watched this new “reality” TV Show called “The Real Wedding Crashers” where the Bride and Groom allow this TV show to stage several practical jokes through out the wedding. Watching the show I Felt Bad for the bride and Groom because their Story’s are fake they were staged.

It reminded me that sometimes in our worship services and practices we spend so much effort trying to worship the “right” way, to do the right things and say certain thing that people aren’t able to experience the adventure of Christ.
