What a beautiful wedding! I’ve served a few “Tridentine” weddings over the past several years, and they’re always wonderful occasions.
That was beautiful! Thanks so much for posting. I’m pleased to see that the dresses covered their shoulders, looks like they decided against the “Oh, Mom, I wanna get married looking like a porn star” fashion that is so prevalent today.
This does my heart good.
Exellent!
Notice the Tabernacle is in the center of the altar;
as it should be!
I wonder if they moved it back or whether is was ever moved in the first place?
WOW tears in my eyes beautiful...
Very nice !! What beautiful photos.
By coincidence, I also attended a Tridentine wedding myself this past weekend, in Oakland, California. Absolutlely beautiful. The children’s choir chanted the Mass (they are all home-schooled, and have been practicing together for several years now, so they are very good).
The kneeling issue was not as much of a consideration for the bride and groom at our wedding though. They had two regular chairs at the end of the aisle, about where the bride and groom are standing in the photos above. This allowed the bride and groom to sit at times at the wedding I attended.
I know what the author is saying about kneeling for long periods of time, though. I serve Tridentine Low Mass once a week, and for the first few months, my knees felt it afterwards!! However, I don’t notice pain in my legs as much as the heat. Kneeling for long periods of time causes strain in just about all of your muscles. Hence, when kneeling for long periods of time during the summer, and having to wear all of that clothing, I have sweat literally pouring off of me by the end of Mass. That is what I notice more than any leg pain. Hence, I would have felt even more sorry for this bride and groom had their wedding taken place in July or August!! It is not the pain in the legs so much as dealing with the rivers of perspiration!!
Beautiful photos!
I noticed the flower girls are barebacked. There are SO many darling flower girl dresses out there. And the bride’s dress is rather low.
I know, I know! I am too critical. But you would think with the Tridentine Mass there would be a bit more modesty in dress.
Beautiful! Thanks for posting this.
Woohoo, prayers up!
My friends had the same last year... truly beautiful.
