Ohhhhh I just remembered what I wanted to ask you guys. OK who is having/or had an engagement party? Do you have to get your wedding bands for your eparty for the pappa to bless them or if you skip the eparty, can the pappa just bless the bands the day of the wedding??

---

I had an e-party and we had our band blessed.. and we were them like we are supposed to. we didnt put themback int eh box cuz then whats the pointof gettin them bless and having the religious engagment.
here is a pic of the bands all set up at the e-party..

and our rings after the preist put them on us

Your ring is beautiful. So did the priest bless your eing and your wedding band? Are you wearing both of them on your left hand until you get married and the pappa switches them?

thank u..
the preist just blessed the bands.. and out it on the same hand with my e-ring. Yes we will wear our rings on the left and then after the wedding we plan to change to the other hand.
FH says he got used to it on his left so he might jst leave it there.. i plan to wear it the Orthodox way... but that doume.. it might get in the way too much on my right.

I am most likely going with Zoodohous Pigis or however you spell it. My church would normall be St Nicks in Flushing but i had an issue with the lady who books the weddings and fh and i got a little disgusted. Seemed like they were more concerned with making sure i pay them the $425.00 membership this yr and next yr eventhough this yr i paid the membership at a different church. She basically told me if i dont pay it this yr and a member comes along and they want my date and time then they automatically get it and i lose it. This can go on till Dec 31, 2007. I dont need the headache of worrying that that will happen.

She didnt even say we will take the difference of what you already paid and deduct it. I dont see the point in me having to pay it twice to ensure i get the date and i told her if this is all one big greek community then it shouldnt matter which church i paid. Then she went on to give me the speech that the 425 pays for con ed and so on.

I felt like telling her so if i was poor i cant get married here.

We then looked at St D in Astoria and St Catherines and they are both nice but parking in Astoria stinks and since FH is from the BX and the church is 2 min from his house we figured it would just be easier to do it there.

Mind you no other church i went to gave me the issue that the lady at St Nicks did. Basically every other church said its fine i just have to become a member with them in 2008 which makes sense.

---

thats biathc did the samr thing to me.. let me guess Eugenia right??!!!
anyhoo i raise all he!l in there and belive me they didnt give my date to anyone. I would have raise more he!l but my lil bro goes to the afternoon school there and i didnt want him to have any issues there. But i did remind them that what they are trying to do is against the rules or our archdiocese and that i would report them if they continued the issue with me. I told them that i alos found out that they already have 2 complaints against them for the smae thing and that the 3rd wouldnt look so great for them.
another thing that they did to me was they tried to tell me that both me and FH would have to pay membership fees there for the same year. I told them that either we pay as a family or he will register somewhere else and I will pay for a single person. Basically they tried to get me to give them almost 2k.. b4 i even walked throught their doors.
Aagin the reson that i didnt cause a HUGE issue was cuz my bro goes to school there but if he didnt I wouldnt be getting married there.

---

Yea she was the one who gave me the issue and i basically told her that if she could be nice enough to let me know if someone requests the day and i will let her know if i want to be bothered with them.

FH goes with the flow but when he heard this he was pissed because what they do is not right. He doesnt even want to be bothered anymore and since he lives 2 min from the church in the BX and plus it has a nicer outside. Nice stairs in the front you can take pictures on and it was recently built so we figured we can do that

Re: *~*~*~*~GREEK BRIDES WEDDING THREAD~*~*~*~*

Dont think I am crazy, but I want to buy a set of cheap dishes and at some point in the wedding, hand them out to guests so they can break them OPA Maybe my RH wont allow that?? I am going to ask

Re: *~*~*~*~GREEK BRIDES WEDDING THREAD~*~*~*~*

This thread is a great idea!

I have a question: Do we have to do pre-marital counseling with the church/priest before the wedding? FH and I are both Greek. Just curious. Thanks!

St. Nicks does a group seminar for 2 hours.. and then the couple must meet with the preist for an hour when the lic. is issued.

I think you should double check with your church....like penny said before, St. Nick's requires you to attend a group session and then a one on one with the priest.

Re: *~*~*~*~GREEK BRIDES WEDDING THREAD~*~*~*~*

St. Nick's said the same to me--Eugenia right? They made me pay for 2 years and I am already a member somewhere else..so typical of them. No one should get married there!!!
