If you are looking to get married, don’t have a lot of money and live in Long Beach, CA, Oct. 2 may be your lucky day.
Parkcrest Christian Church, located in Long Beach, Calif., has announced a Free Wedding Weekend on Sunday, October 2 at their Heartwell campus. Three pastors will perform free marriage ceremonies followed by a cake and punch reception.
The day is “in an effort to challenge people in their congregation that are currently living together, but haven’t made the full commitment to become a married couple,” a press release stated.
Lead Pastor Mike Goldsworthy said he wasn’t interested in telling people that it is not God’s plan for couples to be living together without providing any options for them. “The cost and time it takes to plan a wedding are very real barriers to people committing to each other in marriage. We wanted to show people that we care about their futures together so much that we were willing to put time and money into helping them make this huge step.”
