Catholic ceremony question

Catholic ceremony question

Is anyone doing the presentation to Mary? i talked to the Deacon on Friday and he suggested this instead of a unity candle. I was just curious if anyone else is doing it? i've never seen it done, and I would like to do something different than all my cousins.

Re: Catholic ceremony question

we are doing both...We are doing the candle and bringing flowers over to the blessed mother. Also the priest suggested at the time of peace. Having two single roses and giving them each to our mothers...LOVE THAT IDEA!!!

Re: Catholic ceremony question

we did both, we gave the bok to the blessed mary and did unity candle

Re: Catholic ceremony question

I'm going to do the giving a bouquet to Mary by myself... fh isn't religious and I dont want him fake praying there.

Re: Catholic ceremony question

We aren't but my FH isn't a practicing Catholic so we're not doing anything too religious. We are doing a unity candle.

Re: Catholic ceremony question

We are doing this as well as a unity candle. It is a nice touch.

Re: Catholic ceremony question

We're doing this in addition to the unity candle

Re: Catholic ceremony question

we r doing both as well

Re: Catholic ceremony question

i have only seen this done ONCE and i have been to plenty of weddings... is this something new?

Re: Catholic ceremony question

Thanks girls. My fh isn't Catholic, but he is Christian, Greek Orthodox, so the deacon thought this would be good since both religions obviously place significance on Mary.

I've seen this done at two different weddings I've been at in the past few years.. I think it's just something they offer that you can do
