[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, was there ever an issue with communion not being part of the wedding rituals?[/quote]

I'm a different PP, the one who provided the link to the FOCUSS questions.  We also did not have a Nuptial Mass, which is what you'd call a wedding with a full Mass including communion.  Instead it was essentially the first half of the Mass, through the Gospel and then moved into the marriage vows.  The priest who married us said this is very common and not at all a problem.  They prefer it when one half of the couple isn't Catholic as the priest wants to "focus on the unity and not on the division.  Seeing only one spouse take Communion brings light to that one element of the marriage".  Worked for us.

Only issue was that all my Catholic cousins groaned about having to get up and go to Mass the next morning since they didn't receive communion at my wedding.  LOL[/quote]

LOL, yes, because ignoring the problem during your wedding [b]totally [/b]prevents it from being a problem the rest of your marriage.  What a joke. They should require it during a wedding, so everyone can see what a divisive entity they are.[/quote]

Aah, more Catholic bashing.  Never was a problem in our marriage.  When we did finally have kids, we decided to raise them Catholic.  I know many families where even after decades one spouse never converted although they raised their family in one faith.  In our case (I'm the PP you're talking about), it certainly wasn't ignored, as you say.  It was a big part of our conversations during the pre-Cana sessions, and something we talked through together and with the priest.  Don't look for trouble where there isn't any, PP.
