Blog Post : Week 8

This weekend I got to celebrate my two friends getting married. They are both Catholic, so the wedding was very religious. Candles were lit by the mother's of the bride and groom, then by the bride and groom themselves, and finally the priest signifying something special (very echo-ey). The entire affair had certain ceremonies that were specific. The priest was the same man who married the grooms parents, as well as his sister and her husband. 

I went to a Jehovas Witness wedding before and was not as impressed by the speech he made for the couple as I was for the priest of the Catholic ceremony. The priest has the couple go through a series of meetings to make sure they are ready before making this commitment and spends a lot of time with the couple as a result. He was able to accurately describe the couple, how they interact together, and how they are with their families. 

But no Catholic Fish Fry's.
