Abstract
Citizens of the Czech Republic can currently choose whether to enter into a civil marriage or a religious one (i.e. one presided over by an authorised representative of one of the twenty-one churches and religious societies who have been granted this special right). Recent years have shown that pastors such as those of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren marry a number of non-members, who, for various reasons, are seeking an alternative to a civil marriage ceremony.
This article attempts to present the religious wedding ceremony as a unique and positive opportunity to demonstrate the manifestation of divine love, which applies to everyone, in helping the engaged couple to understand and pass through one of the most crucial points in their lives.
