What is the role of the bridesmaids and best man in a Traditional Wedding?
Can there be boys to be ringbearers?
Do the bridesmaids and best man stay in the sanctuary during Mass because I saw in a NO that they do?
In short I want a traditional catholic wedding planner and tips.
Can there be violinists in the wedding?
How do you explain to the non trads about 'active participation' at a TLM?
active participation = receiving Holy Communion, joining in the prayers. But don't take my word for it, please look it up and don't cite an internet forum poster.
Violinists - yes. But ask the priest if he is OK with it. However, much popular wedding music (i.e., Mendelssohn, Wagner, etc) really are not appropriate for liturgical use. Extra-liturgical, at your discretion. The canon (and gigue) in D Major is a wonderful piece, but maybe to overused and definitely almost never played correctly. also Schubert's ave maria, etc is not appropriate for liturgical use.
