Last year, around May, I was an officiating
minister of an engagement with two other ordained ministers. Such a glorious
occasion that was. Everyone was glad. The part that fascinated me so much was
after the exchange of the rings. The man of God stood between the bride and
groom and said, “I’m the only one standing in between these couple for which
reason they cannot marry.” Then he move backward, joined the hands of the
couple and pulled them together, and said’ “From now, I, being middle wall of
separation have forever stepped aside, and by the power vested in me…I
pronounce you husband and wife”.
