God does forgive our sins, but we should not use that as an excuse to keep on sinning.
How is getting married while pregnant not a sin while waiting to have the baby is?
Continuing in premarital sex is a sin. I should have been more clear.
Ahhh...gotcha.
That's assuming the couple is continuing in premarital sex.

no i totally agree
the actual act of repenting and asking forgiveness means also to not do it again...but once we ask for forgiveness he forgives.
i assumed the couple would not be continuing premarital sex...

I agree about sex outside of marriage being a trend...but that aside:
What would you have this women do that would satisfy some delicate sense of appropriateness and decorum?
Should she wait till she has the baby so she looks "skinny" in her gown?
Should she not have a public wedding and do so only in private?
I mean seriously...aside from the whole sex outside of marriage being wrong argument, what would we have her do?
Bingo!!! 
What about everyone who has sex outside of marriage, doesn't get pregnant and then decides to get married . . .
. . . Pregnancy isn't the sin; premarital sex is.

The best solution is for those people to go get married right now. Today! Waiting may last for eternity, and that would be tragic. While that may not seem like decorum, dying while in a relationship full of fornication should be much scarier than offending some people.
I agree with this and yet I don't.
Sometime the best thing for a relationship is to end it; not continue it on and get married.
Even and especially regarding a pre-existing pregnancy. I think I may be in the minority here (as in not this specific thread but forums-wide), but getting pregnant is not a reason to get married. In fact, it can actually be the very worse thing to do in some cases. Sometimes it is the thing to do; but it certainly isn't a clear-across-the-board answer to every pre-marital pregnancy that occurs. The divorce rates prove help this (and they also help disprove the fallacy that everyone who has had pre-marital with no ensuring pregnancy should also get married).
There are no easy answers. Pre-marital sex is rampant; and with that comes many unfortunate situations.

wow maternity prom dresses?? interesting.lol
im not here to judge,my mother was a sinlge mom for almost the first year of my life.but what i am going to say is this.
if i were pregnant,and getting married,i would set the wedding date for after the baby was born,just so i wouldnt be so uncomfortable,on the big day.even though sex out of marriage is sin,God forgives all our sins.so why rush the wedding if you can be comfortable on such a special day?
with 50 percent of america's mariages ending up in divorce,it makes sense to kae sure if you want to be with this person the rest of your life before you get married. my mom made a brave decision by not marrying my biological father.he was an unfaithful abusive bum.lol
and i thank God she married who i consider my real father,the one who brought me up as a christian.
so i close with this to all who mad the same mistake:
dont marry the dude just cause your baby needs a father!
it may be and even worse mistake!
be sure that you love him an hes the one God wants you to marry=)
much love,
jojo Wow; Someone else thinks the way I do!

It depends on the family. Years ago when I was a kid, one of my older cousins got married when she was about 6 months pregnant. Her father walked her down the ailse with an old shotgun he'd painted white and proceeded to point it at the groom with a warning that if the young man ever did his daughter wrong the next time he saw the shot gun it would be loaded. When the vows were said and the couple introduced by the preacher as man and wife, the father of the bride pointed the shot gun up in the air and pulled both triggers. A huge BOOM! shook the windows, caused hysteric screaming and a couple of folks to faint. A ton of confetti, packed into the gun by the father of the bride, shot up into the air and then fluttered down like snowflakes and sticking out of one of the barrels was a flag that said CONGRATULATIONS!
The mother of the bride proceeded to hit the father of the bride over the head with her purse and wished aloud that it was a skillet she was using instead. The preacher, who had darned near wet himself during the initial blast, called the father of the bride a couple of things you'd never expect to hear in church and offered to plant his boot firmly in the father of the bride's backside, and the bride stood there in shock, while the groom, who had also nearly wet himself, laughed his head off. While the father of the groom wondered who was going to be able to top this prank at the next wedding.
It took a good half-hour to forty-five minutes for things to calm down. The father of the bride had always been a joker whose life's ambition had pretty much always been to do stuff like that, and some folks said well it should have been expected unless you locked him up in the closet during the ceremony(which the bride and her mother said should have been done anyway). Folks relaxed and the reception was great, at least until a few on the groom's side- all a bunch of hard-core rednecks- got a bit drunk and somebody started a brawl in the church parking lot which the preacher broke up. Personally, I never knew clergymen could throw punches hard enough to lay drunken good-old-boys out but that one sure did.
I'd like to say this was just an odd occurance for my family, but I can't. So don't bemoan the "lack of decorum" of a bride with a belly out-to-there. There's worse things that could happen.
I was on the edge of my seat reading this!
This was hilarious!!!
