Wedding Cake

But this is a story about a groom and bride , a young couple preparing for their wedding day.
The bride-to-be was obviously stressed out and the sensitive future groom offered to help her with some of the arrangements. She suggested that he handle the ordering of the wedding cake.

There was a Scripture verse that was special to her and she told him that she would very much like for it to be written on their wedding cake. The verse She wanted was 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear."

He agreed that it was indeed the perfect verse for their cake and set off for the bakery. He did a fine job at the bakery, informing the baker of all the details of this magnificent wedding cake, including the Scripture verse.

He left out a vital piece of information for the baker, however,and instead of 1 John 4:18, he told the baker simply John 4:18. A few days before the wedding, the baker contacted the groom to confirm the Scripture they wanted on the cake. He assured her that the verse he said was exactly what his future wife wanted. Somewhat apprehensive, the baker hung up the phone and proceeded to decorate the young couple's wedding cake.

The big day had arrived. The ceremony went off extremely well. The bride had never looked more beautiful and He looked very handsome in his tuxedo.

The two proceeded to the reception and over to the wedding cake to begin the picture-taking session. It was at this moment that He realized his tragic mistake with the verse.

She read, with horror, the verse on their wedding cake. John 4:18 says:"The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband."

Oh, my - this is why details are very important...
