Come to think of it, though, if the preacher were of the calibre of CS Lewis or Rowan Williams, he (or she in the CofE) could weave one Heck of a riff between marriage, Eucharist and divine presence, on the theme that "God is Love and everyone who loves knows God". The trouble is that only a preacher of that level could do it without falling into cheap cleverness.
Very true. Or being vaguely embarassing. You'd have to be very good to manage it.
I sympathise re: the Song of Songs. It's bad enough in a college chapel with the choir pulling faces in a bid to make you crack and giggle, but the circumstances you describe are a good deal more embarassing.
