The Bible does NOT tell us when the wedding ceremony took place.
Before or After the birth of Jesus?
If before; could not Joseph (I'm gonna get in trouble here) have checked her out before the birth?
This is what I deserve for entering the rf on Easter Sunday... good grief but have you no shame whatsoever?
In the Jewish wedding system, the betrothal is the start of the whole wedding process. Mary was already betrothed to Joseph when she was ‘found with child’. The Angel visited Joseph after the conception and before the birth. Mary visited Elizabeth in Elizabeth’s sixth month. And you are correct, the Bible does not tell us when the ceremony took place, but says Joseph and his wife were going to be counted in the census, before Jesus was born ... that’s how they ended up in Bethlehem instead of at home for the delivery.
Matthew 1:24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife. 25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
The Bible does tell. Under the Law, the marriage is already contracted, but not consummated until the elapse of a proof-positive non-conjugal period to ensure the bride's virginal status. See Deuteronomy 22.
