HELP ME!

I marvel at this picture. If this is the groom, what is he doing? If this is the best man, what is he doing? It could be someone else, but what is he doing? More importantly, why? Marriage is like following Jesus, you need to put your whole heart into it, or you are just wasting your time. Consider this passage from Matthew.
Mat 6:24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon.

OK, I am not saying she will be his master, only that a commitment is involved. However, with God its a different situation; you just have to choose and that's that. "HELP ME!" really applies in the case of both the picture and the Christian commitment (discipleship) because both really need help. God will always be there to do just that, but I wonder if the bride will be.
