Majestic Arch & intricate stained glass.

 When you envision your wedding, do you see yourself in a grand church rich with history? Walking down the isle to your beaming soon-to-be-husband standing under the arched stained glass window? 
The idea behind the stained glass in churches stems back to Medieval western Europe. Most people could not read and the only way to learn the teachings of Christ was through images. Stained glass windows in the cathedral had pictures of Jesus and the stations of the cross. The windows also taught of the disciples.
