Thanks. I know of one that might qualify—the Cana wedding. Are there others? The 'wedding' of Tobit 7:12-14 is signing a contract.

I've heard pastors say the Cana wedding is clear authorization of Christian marriages. But that seems absurd. The couple is all but invisible. (Church tradition has the bride as Jesus' sister, and Nathanael is from Cana so he might be the groom.)

But the marriage seems to become irrelevant in light of Jesus' presence. Gerard Loughlin suggests the theological importance in this wedding is the disciples going off with Jesus afterward.

"The entire story rests on the ancient idea that God is to Israel as a husband to wife, bridegroom to bride, and that now, in Jesus, that relationship is perfected: the bridegroom arrives in person, and all are called to become his bride."
