What do you need to know about your Fiance before you get married?
Whatever is important to you is what you need to know.
For example, you may not care they have $50,000.00 in outstanding debt because you are independently wealthy and can pay it all off next week, however, others may not have that kind of money and may not want to take on the responsibility of financial burden and therefore might want to know up front.
Do you want to know if they were married before? Ask.
Do you want to know if they have a criminal record? Ask.
Do you want to know where they went to school, if they have a drinking or drug related problem and how does it affect you? Ask
Do you get the point?
Yes they can - and I know this from experience as I am married to a vicar! In the Anglican Church both men and women can become vicars, and can get married. My wife has been a vicar in two parishes. Our latest parish also has a Methodist minister, who is female and married. In our first parish there was a Baptist minister - and he was married too. Most, if not all, Protestant churches allow their clergy to marry. The two main denominations that do not allow their clergy to marry are some parts of the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. However, in the RC church there are some campaigns to allow clergy to marry. In England this had a lot of publicity after the Church of England agreed to allow women to become priests (and hence vicars) with the first ordained in the 1990s. A small number of Church of England clergy, opposed to women's ministry, 'defected' to Rome, and, after retraining, became priests in the RC church. Many of these were already married with families (as they were former Church of England vicars) and were still allowed to practise within the RC Church. Many then felt that the celibacy of the priesthood had been breached once-and-for-all, and as there was no divine 'retribution' for such an act, a call for celibacy to be optional in the RC church was made. There have been no decisions either way as yet, but there are still a large number who believe that married RC priests would not only be acceptable but also beneficial to the church.
How do you announce an engagement?
Well Just telling everyone that you are engaged is fine. But instead of going the usual way, call an event which can be memorable for both of you. You can start by telling how your relationship began, where you met or how you fell in love. TRy to preapre a speeh or if you have a childlike wonder within you, adore fairy tales, you may start the ball rolling by saying something like, "Once upon a time…" Then you can continue with things like how you proposed to your partner.

Get grandmothers wedding ring back from ex?
* Generally when an engagement ring or wedding ring is given then it is the woman's to keep, but if she was any kind of a woman knowing this was your grandmother's ring she should give it back. If need be offer to buy her a new ring in place of your grandmother's ring and of course it wouldn't be an engagement ring.
Why might the bride or groom back out of a wedding at the last minute?
Reasons why a bride may call off the wedding:
- Getting 'cold feet' (unsure if she wants to spend the rest of her life with the same man.
- Discovering she may want more freedom to discover what she is really made of; further her education; get a good job; travel.
- Discovering her fiance has cheated on her.
- Having feelings that her fiance may not be as strongly in love with her as he once was and finds her emotional needs are not met.
- Her fiance may tell her he does not want children and she does.
Weddings hold different kinds of importances to different kinds of people. Some people view it as making a public statement to stay with someone forever, and that you will spend the rest of your life with them. For others it's just a big party with friends and family and a pretty dress. Some people are in the middle (They want to spend their lives together and have a big party
When should a bridal shower be given?
You should plan a Bridal Shower to be held about one month prior to the Wedding and only after the Bride has registered somewhere. If the Bride has a lot of family that won't be in town, you can have two showers -- one for the locals and one for the out-of-towners. This still complicates things as most people only fly in for a few days prior to the wedding and with all the planning and finishing touches the bride may not have time for a second shower so close to the wedding date.
Also keep these points in mind
- The event is usually held within two months of the wedding, up to two weeks before the big day.
- Don't invite guests to the shower who have not been invited to the wedding.
- You also need to decide whether this will be just a girls party or a jack and Jill party
Can mother of groom and mother of bride wear long when bridesmaids wear short?
There is absolutely no reasons to not to! As long as your dress is not similar colour or style to the bridesmaid (and of course not white) then I think it should be fine. However, I think you have to in someway make it clear that you are the mother of the bride and not one of the bridesmaid - otherwise, a) the bridesmaid might not be happy thinking that they might not be valued and b) You played a big part in the Bride and the Groom's lives, you want to stand out and let people congratulate you on having a beautiful daughter
Are Jews allowed to marry on Saturday?

Does Trisha year wood have kids?

Why do brides carry a bouquet of flowers?
About the time of the Middle Ages, people took their one bath of the year about April, when the weather was starting to warm up. Marriages traditionally took place in June and, by that time, people were starting to smell a bit ripe. Therefore the bride would carry flowers to help cover the offensive odor. That is the theory I have read somewhere.
What does the bride and groom says to each other at the Jewish wedding?
In a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony, there are no vows recited. However, when the groom places the wedding band on the bride's finger, he says (in Hebrew): "Behold, you are consecrated to me with this ring according to the traditions of Moses and Israel."
If the bride gives the groom a ring, when placing the ring on his finger, she says (in Hebrew): "I am my beloved's, my beloved is mine."
How long do you have to be married to an illegal immigrant so he would become a resident?
It will take about three months for the work permit and social security number to come out, then another three months are needed for the actual green card. In other words, it will take total of 6months or even less as long as your application and the documents are correct and everything is perfectly prepared and sent to the USCIS. It is very important that you send every document correct and flawless. Then, less than 6months is guaranteed.
Do the grooms parents play a part in the wedding?
* Etiquette states that the bride and groom's families can invite the same amount of guests. However, depending on the finances of both parents (especially the bride's parents) it's wise for both sets of parents to make a list as to whom they would like to come to the wedding and along with the bride and groom both families should sit down together and decide who should come to the wedding and who should not. The reason for this is that each place setting per guest can cost over $25 - $50 or more a plate. This can become extremely expensive and this does not include the reception area being rented nor the alcohol provided at the reception as well as a corkage fee (just for opening each bottle of wine.)
If a Catholic intends to marry a Hindu does the Hindu have to convert to have a Christian wedding?
3rd June 2009
Conversion:
There Catholic Church is clear that it teaches there is absolutely no compulsion for anyone marrying a Catholic to become a Catholic; this would include a Hindu or any non-Christian. The official teaching of the Catholic Church may be found in the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Religious Freedom. It states:
"This Vatican Council declares that the human person has a right to religious freedom. This freedom means that all men are to be immune from coercion on the part of individuals or of social groups and of any human power.......The council further declares that the right to religious freedom has its foundation in the very dignity of the human person as this dignity is known through the revealed word of God and by reason itself." (Paragraph 2)
"It is one of the major tenets of Catholic doctrine that our response to God in faith must be free: no one therefore is to be forced to embrace the Christian faith against his own will........The act of faith is of its very nature a free act."(Paragraph 10)
Ceremony
A Catholic marrying a non-Christian is required to receive permission from the local bishop; this is easily done. It is also possible to have the ceremony conducted outside of the church building out of sensitivity towards the family of the non-Christian. It is also possible to have the wedding conducted by a non-Christian minister; this may be allowed if a strong family link existed e.g. the non-Christian's father was a rabbi. However, a member of the Catholic clergy (or in the case of no available clergy a delegated lay person) would need to be present as an official Church witness; this is because the Catholic Church requires this for validity, as stated in canon. 1108 §1.
"Only those marriages are valid which are contracted before the local ordinary, pastor, or a priest or deacon delegated by either of them." (Note: canon 1112 allows a lay person to be delegated as the official Church witness if no clergy are available; this is provided that it has been sanctioned by the national conference and the Holy See has approved)
Correction
Canon 1112 is called the 'requirement of form'. There is no need for a Catholic clergyman to be present if a dispensation from form is given. In those cases, the officiating clergyman of the other religion becomes the official witness of record and this is put into the marriage register. The dispensation from form specifically dispenses from the need to have Catholic clergy as the official witness.
To the person who keeps changing this, please email me at clcrino@gmail.com and I can send you the relevant form from the Archdiocese of Chicago which indicates this.
Answer
A marriage with someone not baptized is indeed a marriage - and is graced as a marriage by God if the proper dispensations are first secured. Getting a dispensation for disparity of cult (a marriage between a Catholic and non-Christian) is easy and is granted by the local bishop. It is also possible to get a dispensation from 'canonical form' - i.e. permission to be married in a non-Catholic ceremony and outwith a church building; but a member of the Catholic must be present as an official Church witness.
A Hindu perespective
To understand this from a Hindu perspective you must understand what actually Hinduism is. Unlike Christianity, Islam and other religions Hinduism is not a religion with a set boundry; it is more a way of life.
One can get marriage with complete religious ceremony or you can simply get a civil marriage in the Office of Marriage registrar. However one thing is there generally the children adopt the religion of father ( at least till they are minor) but it is still not compulsory. However one must understand that in Hindu religion only a couple (husband and wife) can perform religious ceremonies like a Yajna, Pooja etc.
Why does a Jew break a wine glass at a wedding?
A glass is now placed on the floor, and the chatanshatters it with his foot. This act serves as an expression of sadness at the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, and identifies the couple with the spiritual and national destiny of the Jewish people. A Jew, even at the moment of greatest rejoicing, is always mindful of the Psalmist's injunction to set Jerusalem above his highest joy.
(In Israel, the glass is broken earlier, prior to the reading of the Ketubah.)
This marks the conclusion of the ceremony. With shouts of Mazel Tov, the chatan and kallah are then given an enthusiastic reception from the guests as they leave the chupah together and head toward the Yichud room, their temporary private chamber.
(In Jest it is often said that it is the last time the groom gets to put his foot down!)
What should the mother of the bride wear if the wedding is red and black?
Usually, the mother of the bride tends to wear colors that compliment the bridal party rather then match them.
Colors that complement the bridal party are for example, if the colors are blue, the mother of the bride could perhaps wear royal blue, baby blue, navy, ocean blue. I think you get the idea. Usually there are two colors for the wedding and so that would open up more choices for colors to wear for the mother of the bride or groom.
How far in advance should the mother of the bride order her dress?
As soon as the bride decides on the color theme of the wedding and her bridesmaids' dress colors. A mother of the bride dress should be ordered right after the bride orders her wedding gown. The reason frequently being, mother of the bride dresses in the color, fabric, style, and size that she wants is never available at the first attempt at shopping. Then there is the queston of whether she likes the way to dress looks on her. The bride, believe or not, has a less taxing time and experience than her mother. If it is a traditional wedding, her two choices of colors are either white or ivory and normally, a bride is young and fairly thin. She is much easier to fit. Mother of the brides, on the other hand, have to coordinate color with the color theme of the wedding, and confer with the mother of the groom as well. Their outfits have to complement each other's. Also, mothers of the bride (and groom) want to look their best for the wedding and try to lose those few extra pounds. This delays the time they could use for shopping and when they finally take the plunge, they simply cannot find what they want and have big time crunch situation. Advice to mother of the brides out there is to never to wait till you lose that 10-20 pounds, etc. Buy a dress that you love and look great in and if you lose the weight, get it professionally altered. You will be much happier and stress-free knowing that you already have a dress to wear on that very important day.
Meaning of wearing ring finger on the right hand by a man?
If you are an Orthodox Christian, it means you are married.
Is dancing forbidden at a pentecostal wedding?
Dancing before the Lord in worship and praise is allowed. We must remember that King David in Psalms danced before the Lord all the time and sang. Dancing is often misunderstood in a typical non-pentecostal church because the typical conservative church doesn't understand that dancing before the Lord pleases Him! In Exodus 15:20, Miriam dances before the Lord in celebration of being protected and delivered from the hands of the Egyptian armies who found their fate in the Red Sea. God protected His people and kept his promises.
Biblical verses that prove that God loves the dance: (worship before Him).
Exodus 15:20: Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Psalms 149:3: Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
Psalms 150:4: Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
Even Lamentations talks that without dancing before the Lord, our joy is not full and our dance turned into mourning.
Lamentations 5:15: The joy of our heart has ceased; Our dance has turned into mourning.
Obviously, we must realize that a pentecostal church and any church should be in obedience to the Lord to His commandments. By not doing what He (our Lord) commands, we walk in disobedience and the Lord talks about this in Romans 5:19: For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous. But in Romans 11:30, Paul talks about obedience and what it means when we obey our Lord God. In Romans 11:30: For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,
Just remember, Jesus is the reason for all seasons. Dancing in all seasons before our Lord in worship and praise is showing God just how much you love Him and how you worship Him!
