Hear the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD, saying, “Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good; his love endures forever.”  (Jer 33:11 NIV) Jesus answered them, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? (Mar 2:19 NIV)
