Weddings

This is a complicated matter which should be referred to one's pastor. If the wedding took place in the groom's church without a "dispensation from canonical form" coming from the bride's bishop (by way of her own pastor), then the wedding would be considered null and void in the eyes of the Church. Catholics are obliged to be married according to canonical form, that is 1) before their own pastor or a priest/deacon delegated by him, 2) according to the rite of the Church, and 3) before witnesses. This obligation can be dispensed by the bishop for good reason. If you have been working with a Catholic priest to prepare your wedding, then I would hope and presume the priest would have seen to having this done. To disregard this obligation to be married under 'canoncial form' or to fail to seek a dispensation from 'canonical form' risks an invalid marriage and is thus "serious matter" for the confessional. One who finds herself/himself in this condition should not be receiveing Holy Communion until it is resolved and one is given the 'all clear' from her/his confessor. Where would one go from here based on this scenario? More than likely, this marriage can be "convalidated" in the Church where one forms a new marriage covenant before a priest/deacon in proper (valid) form. Alternatively, it might be possible for this marriage to be declared sanated (that is, 'healed') by a declaration of Church authority, which would not require the new expression of consent. Again, your local Catholic pastor is the one who can and will lead you through this process. This would be the same procedure if a Catholic married in a courthouse without dispensation from form, or if one were married before a priest without jurisdiction (for example, a "Rent-a-Priest" who has left the priesthood or the jurisdiction of a diocese and claims to do "Catholic Weddings" on the side), or the case you present. All bets are off if there are previous marriages for either the bride or the groom. Previous marriages would need to be addressed before this marriage could be regularized in the Church. Obviously if both parties are not Catholic, they are not bound by Catholic law and can marry freely and validly (which, actually, makes it more difficult to declare these marriages 'null' if one of the parties would later want to contract marriage with a Catholic following a civil divorce). If a Catholic leaves the Church through a formal act, they are not bound by canoncial form and can enter this kind of marriage validly. (Of course, there would be great spiritual peril of leaving the Church altogether, but that's a whole other discussion.) Again, this is not the forum to receive proper pastoral care for these matters. Call your Catholic pastor and work with him. (And if you are unable to work with him or things don't seem to be getting done, find another priest you know and can trust to be your advocate in this important process.)

Well just about any finger you want apart from the left ring finger.

Though wearing one on the index is a bit strange and the little finger is a bit camp.

But that's just my opinion. Personally I think men should only wear 2 rings at the most,(including wedding bands.) Women who wear loads of rings look a quite weird as well. The right ring finger is always a safe bet, middle on either right or left and the right hand thumb can be pulled off by some however some also associate that with homosexuality.

But hey, it's up to you.

I have a larger diamond ring on my left middle finger, and another ring on my right "wedding" finger. Looks good =)

These days there is no hard and fast rule about who is expected to pay for the hotel accommodations.

While it is wonderful if the bride & groom (or their families) can pay for the hotel, it is very common now that the guests themselves pay.

To help ease this burden, there are several ways to help the guests who may be coming from out of town.

-choose a hotel close to the venue to minimize transportation costs (some hotels are willing to shuttle the guests)

-many hotels will give you a discounted rate on a block of rooms for special events

-goodie bags waiting for them (tourist info, snacks, etc.) in the room are a special way to say thank you for the effort.

-having a brunch or other special meal with the bridal party and all out of town guests is also a great way to get a little extra quality time in with the people who had to make the extra effort to be at the wedding (a great time to catch up and let them feel extra special!)

A wedding reception

• If you are going to an engagement party or bump into either of the parents then yes you would congratulate them, but if not, then it's not necessary to phone them or send a congratulations card.
  

• No, wedding rings do not have to be the same color for a married couple. Example: The bride's rings should match (gold should be on gold; white gold on white gold), but, the groom could wear another metal for his ring (if the bride has silver, it is acceptable for the groom to wear gold or reversed.)

What is the difference between a promise ring and an engagement ring?

While promise rings and **engagement rings**

have many differences, they share a similar meaning: commitment. Although, commitment may have different meanings depending on your relationship.

The general etiquette for the mother of the groom is to wear an elegant dress in a neutral color, such as beige or gray, so as not to outshine the mother of the bride (regardless of the color of the mother of the bride's dress).

freedom to serve the Lord God as a couple with one body, one mind, one heart and one soul in purity...

The best and cheapest place to host a rehearsal dinner would be to have it at right at home. Guests can be much more relaxed and comfortable at a home and gives everyone the opportunity to get to know one another and hang out.

when a woman wont wear her wedding ring and says it her finger and she will wear it when she want to. then she give so many reaseason why she not going to put it on

Ami James has only been married once. His wife's name is Jordan, and they have two children together, Shayli and Nalia.

Although there are retail chain jewelry stores in the Carousel Centre mall, there are also many independent jewellers located around the city. Jewelry on James and Mars Jewelry are both jewellers that will work with you to create a custom design for your ring, ensuring that it looks just the way you want it to. Every jewelry store will allow you to purchase a simple white gold wedding ring, but if you are looking for something unique and specific, you are best to use one of these local businesses.

Her ring got lost inside her wifes vagina.

• When two people are in love there is no such thing as a 'worst month' for a wedding. With the exception of having a wedding close to Christmas, most weddings are postponed if the weather is rainy or cold and weddings are most popular in the months of spring, summer and early autumn (September.)
  

A forced marriage, usually when the bride is pregnant. It derives from the alleged old southern custom of pursuading the groom to marry the pregnant bride at gunpoint, hence, "shotgun wedding".

Anything that is not related to religion, such as something that contains a crucifix or a religious symbol or icon. Also, it would probably be advised not to give a gift that may be considered sexually inapropriate, such as what might be found in an "adult" store.

If a person is legally married, the person can have a religious wedding ceremony. Some people become legally married before the ceremony, and some people renew vows in a ceremony after years of marriage.

Say that you're happy for them and you wish them all the best and long years of marriage happily together and mean it from your heart also.
