Destination Weddings: Saying “I do” - in the Holy Land

Couples have been known to dash off to exotic islands for "destination weddings," an alternative to traditional church and wedding reception galas. But if you are looking for a more spiritual backdrop to your nuptials, the question to ask is: What would Jesus do?

The answer is in John 2. He would go to Cana.

Christians have long made pilgrimages to the ancient Village of Cana where Jesus performed his first miracle. More recently, couples have begun visiting the Franciscan Wedding Church to get married or renew their marriage vows. Jesus performed his first miracle, turning water into wine, at a wedding, thereby validating and blessing the covenant of marriage.
