Hi ladies i need to ask a couple of questions:

1)Is the koumbaro considered the best man?

2)Do we need both a koumbara and koumbaro?

TIA

I believe you can have the koumbaro be the best man, or you can have someone else be the best man. However, the koumbaro must be Greek Orthodox.

You do not need both a koumbara and koumbaro.

I was thinking of asking the greek priest this question, but I won't be meeting with him until next year. Let me know if you find out any information.

TIA!

Re: Greek Brides Thread

I am having my Catholic priest come in and do the blessing. We are getting married at St. Paul's Cathedral (greek church) and the priest there is very liberal. He is allowing my priest to come.

The vows are not allowed....they will interfere with the Orthodox ceremony, only the blessing is allowed....

You have to check with the church because certain churches don't even allow the blessing...

Re: Greek Brides Thread

Did you girls get your favors yet???

Re: Greek Brides Thread

So this past weekend my FH and I went to meet the priest at holy trinity in new rochelle. I LOVE HIM!!! he is awesome and VERY liberal!!! He told us that we could exchange the traditional vows...and that I could bring a catholic priest to do a blessing. I was worried that he was going to make me promise to raise my children GO...but he told us not to listen to what anyone says and to do whatever we want and feel comfortable doing!!! What a relief! the actual ceremony is like 35 minutes and it can all be done in english The church is small and cute. I'm so happy!!

Re: Greek Brides Thread

Hi....I havent posted in a while, but I was wondering if anyone knows a good website that details all the symobolism in the cermony (crowns the walk etc)...I am starting my programs....sorry if this is a repeat question.

Thanks

Re: Greek Brides Thread

Hi...I'm not a greek bride but I'm getting but my fiance is GO and we're getting married at St. Paraskevi. My question is when I search for it on the internet it says it is called 'St. Paraskevi Greek Orthodox Shrine Church' so that is what I put on the draft of the invites. Now everyone I've showed it to (incl. my mom and fiance) thinks that looks weird and since they've never heard it that way, they think I should remove the word shrine. What did you ladies who got married there put on your invitations? Thanks so much for helping me out

Re: Greek Brides Thread

Hi,

I think you should take out the word 'shrine'. I'm not getting married there, but I've had a couple of cousins get married there, and they defintely didn't include the word Shrine. It's a GO church, so you can leave it like that.

Good luck to you!
