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!!
