  2. Background • The period of courtship is over and now it is time for the wedding and honey moon. Falling in love (1:2 – 3:5) leads to being united in love (3:6 – 5:1). • Just as we can learn important lessons from attending a funeral ceremony (Eccl. 7:2-4), we can also learn important lessons from attending a wedding ceremony (S.S. 3:11)
