Wedding of a couple of Jehovah’s Witnesses

[Melinda Mills]

A couple of Jehovah's Witnesses were in the vicinity last week and I used the opportunity to get the latest magazine, as I hadn't seen you for a little while.

I am studying with a Jehovah's Witness couple.

Check the difference in these two sentences.

A couple of Jehovah's Witnesses and a Jehovah's Witnesses couple are both correct. Low-cut is in the eye of the beholder. Unless the brother officiating at the wedding objects then there should not be any problem.  

You see more cleavage in a bathing suit, correct? Modesty is what we should have everyday! My 2 cents! ???

Some bathing suits are more modest. What can the brother officiating do? Send her to change her dress?

I've been to a lot of weddings in my lifetime, some more modest than others, but none like the picture.

Modesty is a way of life

I don't get it. The bride looks modest to me. On the other hand, are those tight pants the groom is wearing?

What about the beard?

I think you got it all wrong. Her hair that is tumbling down is creating the illusion of a cleavage. Anatomically it would be impossible for he cleavage to be so high. Her cleavage is actually where the lace part of the bodice starts, and it is covered up by the lace. Me, being a woman, I never noticed anything wrong with her attire. I noticed the brothers beard though!

Well, a Watchtower article we studied recently stated that in some cultures, a beard is considered appropriate, and could be worn by a Witness, in those cultures

My goodness! You're right! You know I didn't even notice on first glance. Still, I think it looks quite fetching on her.

Check the difference in these two sentences.

 

 

First instance indicates two people in the vicinity. Might be related might not. Couple in this instance simply indicates two in number. 

In the second instance it also indicates two in number, but couple also has the sense of the two being related. 

A couple of Jehovah's Witnesses got married indicates that two of Jehovah's Witnesses got married. 

A Jehovah's Witnesses couple got married also indicates that two of Jehovah's Witnesses got married, but indicates that they were attached in some way. 

Again, both senses are correct. Does not really matter though. Much ado about nothing.

The Librarian noted that it was done on purpose - maybe to catch our attention. He said: "Glad you caught that Melinda. I actually wrote it that way on purpose. ;-)." There are others on this site whose second language is English and who might appreciate a pointer or two.

And what would one say if four Jehovah's Witnesses got married?

And the other two, that were just a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses that got married were not attached in some way?
