On Baha'i Weddings: Marry Each Other, No Middleman

For the non-Baha'i, attending a Baha'i wedding can provide another marvelous introduction to the spirit of the Faith. - gw

My oldest friend got married about a week ago: Isn't she beautiful? They both are... on the inside and out. I was one of her bridesmaids. She is Baha'i and in their religion the bride and groom marry each other-- no middleman. Just when you thought you were safe, new media has infiltrated the wedding process... well, no, not really... the Baha'i faith is a couple hundred years old... but, I like to think of it that way. It was a very intense ceremony to watch, and certainly the most moving wedding that I've ever been to by far.
