Reading this touched my heart!

What a fantastic idea! I might just do this.

That's what i been saying i hate how is about been fancy when its about true love

There is so much richness to the Church when you begin to scratch the surface!

Breaking In The Habit scratch and you will discover that most of what you chant about applies only to the Western church. Sometimes, most of the time, listening to you I can only conclude I must not be catholic since we are not Latin

I hope you do, J O.

have you seen the journey home net work?? it's about protestant pastors and highly educated bible scholars that have converted to the church after studying the early church history and early church fathers. you should watch a few of them. I hope that you come in into the fulnes of the true church of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Come home

Now THAT's a kind of ring bearer I'd actually want!

I’m going through that same thing! I found that they have an Archdiocese for Armes Services specifically for military personnel that are in this situation

Foolishness , marriage is for the children of this world . Do you not know that the Church does not marry you , you marry each other. As soon as you slept together you are married. Do think Jesus Christ has no eyes or ears.

My wife & I got married on Jan 6, 1968 so we didn't have to have to worry about decorations or flowers. As I was just back from my tour in Vietnam we had a lot of problem getting married at all!

M’y parish insisted on us using the poinsettias on the altar for my New Year’s Eve wedding in 1972. My dad was Sooo happy about that!

We were married in ‘75. Hubby, a baptized non-Catholic, was in the military, 2 provinces away. He did all the preparation with the Base Catholic Padre. In fact, it was that Padre that first informed me that we were getting married. 😊 We’d gotten engaged a little more than 2 years earlier but then he’d joined the military, I’d gone to nursing school and marriage had seemed like something we’d do “some day”. We’ll, Padre Stack called to tell me “some day” had arrived and I should go see my priest. Then he handed the phone to my fiancé who informed me that he had leave at the end of October, after finishing whatever training he was on and could we get married then? It was the 14th of July. I had 3 months to get ready. Luckily I was living with my parents for work reasons and the wedding would be taking place in the parish where I’d received all my sacraments of initiation and where I still faithfully worshipped. For me there was no preparation beyond the paperwork. At the ceremony Father greeted us at the back of the church, and, although we didn’t process in together as a couple, we did follow Fr. up the aisle in procession with our attendants and my dad.

Fireflycolor1 I agree

The idea of "a boyfriend" is forbidden in Christianity

At the end of the day, its not about doing it right, its about doing it.

Ragheb Alkayyali Really? What’s wrong with having a person that you are interested in marrying?

@@raghebalkayyali6609 Thas a nonsense of course.

Because the priest or the deacon who officiates at the wedding serves as the Church's official witness of the marriage. As stated in the video, the ministers of the Sacrament of Matrimony are the bride and the groom (At least that is the belief in the Roman/Latin Rite of the Church). The couple, themselves, administer the Sacrament to each other.

Very cool!

That’s what I want myself! But ugh, everyone trying to tell me what to do for my wedding.

Sarah Goldberg my mother would walk me.

Nobody walks anybody anywhere in the Catholic church. This is a western tradition only.

@@hjm5885 my parents met each other at the entrance of the church and walked together towards the altar to signify their total freedom to enter the marriage. In Catholic weddings in fact the bride and groom are considered to be ministers of their own wedding.

It really depends. Orthodox Jewish weddings, no one walks the bride. She walks alone to the chuppah. I’ve been to and seen many.

@@ntmn8444 I've only been to non-Orthodox weddings - did you go to weddings with a mechitza and gender separation during the party afterwards? I can see why, in that case, a woman who didn't have to be there wouldn't be there.

would that it were so...

Well, in 1521, Henry VIII wrote a response to Martin Luther, in defense of the Catholic Faith and its Sacraments, including marriage. For this, the Pope granted the English monarch the title " Defender of the Faith ", which is still retained by them to this day. The idea of his foundation of the Church of England was only incidentally from the later Papal refusal to grant him a divorce. English monarchs had for centuries assumed the power of religious authority in episcopal and ecclesiastical appointments, derived from the idea that the King was God's chosen and anointed.

yeah, I wish he did not go insane and break away from the church.

@@johnnyzeee5215you really think Brittain has that title? If anythng spanish and portuguese did more for the faith 🤣

@@L30NARDO72 Yes, they do have the title. After Henry VIII was excommunicated by the Pope, the English Parliament voted to allow the Sovereign to continue using it. To this day it still is. A British coin from 2020 reads '" Elizabeth II, DG ( By the Grace of God ) REG ( Queen ) FD ( Defender of the Faith ). Prince Charles has said when he becomes King, he will alter the Title to ' Defender of Faith ' in an effort to be. " more inclusive." Whether they have a right to use it, or who has done more for the Faith, is more a matter of opinion.

Best of luck in your preparation! Peace and good to you!

Yes because marriage is no joke!!

How can you consider this service in the video to be a Nuptial Mass? It is tremendously disrespectful in the ambience of a Catholic church and belongs in a church hall or a reception venue.

Excellent idea. We need to go back to focus on the importance of the sacrament rather than on the "cosmetics". . Nowadays, young bride's first get the venue, one year in advance, and, THEN, , the church!. One year preparing the wedding. No rush getting married, of course, because the sexual part is resolved. The poor groom regretting ever proposing, stressed to no end!. The broke friends spending money on expensive rentals and dresses The important thing is "to look pretty in all the pictures pre-wedding and post-wedding that I am going to post in my Facebook for the envy of all of my friends. It doesn't matter if my marriage doesn't last two years. At least, I had a beautiful wedding!"

@@moragmarinoni3397 This video is NOT a replacement for a nuptial Mass, they simply intend to use it during marital preparation classes. The state of Virginia boasts it is “for lovers” because they allow wedding with sometimes 3 and others only 1 day preparation. The Roman Catholic Church in most places requires a FULL YEAR of preparation.

Kakak Neko is so beautiful catholic marriages

Same :)

The

The Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit, if many churches are correct. If many churches are correct, The Trinity is a Family-- two Parents and a Progeny, just like a human family. (Humans are made in the "image" and "likeness" of God according to Genesis 1:26) In the Book of Job which is part of the bible,the Lord is compared to a father and also a mother with a womb. "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens"--Job 38:29. Because God can also be thought of like a mother (Isaiah 42:14,Isaiah 66:13,Matthew 23:37), all three roles (father,mother,progeny) in a basic human family are filled in the Trinity. Saying that the "Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit" is simply another way of saying that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father and the Son" which has been official Catholic Church teaching for centuries. According to the Catholic Church, the Son is begotten from the Father. If this is true, the Father is the Father (Parent) of the Son. According to the Church, the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.If this is true, the Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit. According to the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" paragraph 264, "The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father as the first principle and...from the communion of both the Father and the Son" Of course, the scriptures are vague if the Holy Spirit is the 3rd or 2nd Person of the Trinity--whichever of these is true,the First Person and the Second Person may be the Parents of the Third.

God willing, you will live a happy marriage!

catholic church is not a protestant church where you decide for yourself what you want. there are certain rituals that are followed by all catholics. if you are not catholic you cannot take communion. your choice is to become catholic and participate or don't but then you cannot complain about not having membership privileges if you are not a member.

@@liberator275 , hello, and Thankyou. I knew they wouldn’t let us, but I it made me sad before hand.and since. It is a sacrament and a testament, and the ritual all Christians hold in common. I couldn’t imagine being married without doing so. The Church doesn’t consider me to be a real Christian. I understood that and understand why the church sees it that way, but it’s heartbreaking not to celebrate a Christian marriage with communion. I don’t think of his family as less Christian than mine, my church would welcome him, you. Please know I didn’t expect to, but it’s absence was felt by most of us, Catholic and Protestant. I study Christian traditions, beliefs and collect Bible translations. My favorite are my Catholic Bibles, exhaustive footnotes and references. I’m not angry or resentful, it was just a sad thing for us. His priest, who was such a big part of his family’s life, married us, and that was very special to all of us, God, too, I think. I wish you well, but please speak more gently to the next person who’s comment you reply to. Thank you for your insight and your time. God bless you, j

@@humanebeing6230 what's stopping you from becoming catholic then? any particular reasons?

@@liberator275 , this answer could be a lot longer, but it comes down to this: I don’t believe Jesus will be concerned with denomination. ✌🏼

@@humanebeing6230 why not? Jesus asked Christians believe and do certain things and not denomination do. Protestant denominations skipped over large swaths of what Jesus has asked its followers to do.

How did it go?

@@tommoore2012 everything has been awesome

It is definitely a Western tradition.

And considering that very very few brides are virgins anymore....why strain the credulity of those present?

A friend and former co-worker (religious affiliation unknown) said that she was willing to be generous when her daughters got married (down payment on a car was the example she gave if memory serves me correctly) but she was not going to pay $400 (or whatever the amount was) for a dress that was only going to be worn one time.

And I wish you have it and a happy and long marriage

Just remember that a wedding is a day, a marriage is a lifetime. Want the lifetime more than the day! (Married 27 years and counting. 😊)

F Trozzi I’m pretty sure they’re not allowed to change the essential form of the sacrament.

@@JewelBlueIbanez depends what you mean with "change the form"?

If you got married since you wrote that, how did it go? Did you convince them?

J. S. Bach wasn't Catholic, so I don't know if it would be allowed, but "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" is the loveliest piece of music I can think of.

3 hours is a looong wedding.

okay well I ment at the end of the Ile walk she walks away from her father and would that show willingness? sorry if I'm annoying you and thank you for explanation

It's certainly not annoying. I think that could work as it shows her active willingness to enter into something freely, but I wonder why there's a need to create something new to maintain an old tradition when the rite itself has a wonderful option.

+Breaking In The Habit okay thank you

+Breaking In The Habit okay thank you

Not necessarily Anglo-Saxon...it goes back to ancient times (and in that sense the video is being less-than historically accurate or truthful (I don't think this was done on purpose)...it IS a Catholic custom, just not in universal use any longer. It goes back to the days when a dowry was also exchanged as part of the betrothal, and a daughter could only be married with the consent of her parents, hence the traditional question: "Who gives this woman to be married to this man?" Answer: "Her mother and I do." Now, the custom has taken on a whole new significance today. Special for many families. My Father-in-law gave his daughter away when we were married. If it had not happened that way, I think both he and my wife would have been very hurt. It has a deep emotional significance for some people. However, the traditional question was not asked. This was not because anyone had a problem with it...it was because my mother in law did not believe that my father-in-law would be able to maintain his composure long enough to get four words out of his mouth!

Where are you from?

This is an ancient custom from a time when a woman was property of her father, and then property of her husband.

Yes, there are major questions of justice involved in weddings. When we think about how much is spent, compared to how much poverty there is in our local areas, it is quite extravagant.

No. He signs a paper saying something like that, but again: the priest does not "do" anything at the celebration. What makes someone married in a Catholic mass is the couple's vows.

Yikes. As in taking away the woman’s opportunity to consent herself?

That is correct. Marriage lasts as long as both parties are living. Upon the death of a spouse one may marry again. As far as the parents still walking them down the aisle, that would just be up to them.

@@mikeyjoe419 Thanks for answering my questions!
