Question

How do I watch it on Zoom?

Answer

First you will want to install the Zoom application on your device. No need to make an account though if you don’t want to! First click the join meeting button. Then simply put in your name, or your family’s name, in the top bar. Then you’ll put the meeting ID in the bar below that. It will then take you to another screen where you can put in the password. Once you join, there will be an attendance poll where you can tell us how many are watching. Renton and Madison Wedding Zoom Details- Meeting ID: 578 428 0624 Password: Matt1926

Question

I’ve been specifically invited to attend in person. Can I bring a friend?

Answer

Unfortunately no. We have a set number (which is very small) of guests attending in person and will not be able to accommodate any unexpected guests.

Question

What will the Wedding be like?

Answer

The main feature is the wedding talk, which is about 30 minutes long and delivered by a minister of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The warm and upbuilding discourse emphasizes how the Bible can help the couple have a lasting, loving, and happy marriage.—Ephesians 5:33.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Jehovah’s Witnesses strive to follow the Bible’s direction to dress modestly and respectfully. They appreciate it when others do the same. (1 Timothy 2:9).

Question

Will there be a toast, bouquet toss, or garter toss?

Answer

No. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not participate in any of these activities, because the practices have roots in false religious customs.

Question

Will rice or confetti be thrown?

Answer

No. We realize in many weddings people throw rice or something similar on the new couple because they believe that this will bring the couple good luck and happiness. But Jehovah’s Witnesses avoid practices connected with superstition. This includes invoking good luck, which conflicts with Bible principles.—Isaiah 65:11.
