ReplyDeleteWedding ceremony followed by Solemn High Mass how does that work it sounds wonderful but I always thought the wedding HAD to take place during the mass?? Something special in the Latin Rite??
ReplyDeleteYes, in the Extraordinary Form, the wedding ceremony takes place first, and is then followed by the Mass.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! It was a great pleasure meeting you in Washington, DC, and I look forward to eventually seeing more of your wedding photos. Sincerely, Katja
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are very good.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a beautiful bride! I heard they met in the same church they were married in?
ReplyDeleteI cannot help but think the marriage of these two precious souls is of prophetic significance, both for Europe and for America. They walk in the footsteps of Our Lord and Lady, and Blessed Karl and Zita of Austria. We have not seen the last of these two....
ReplyDeleteWonderful couple! I could look at the photos all day! Does anybody know the birthdate of Kathleen? (To register in the "Gotha")
