That seemed to be a covenantal marriage in the sight of God without a wedding ceremony. | Not necessarily. The text may well assume that there was a wedding ceremony at some stage; it doesn't have to be explicitly reported for there to have been one.
If marriage is a covenant one must assume some sort of a formal (covenant) ceremony somwehere at sometime. | That's a good point, Marty. What we can't assume though is that the covenant ceremony was the same throughout the course of history.
