I am sure it was still very special. ...Very simple. I am sure it was still very special. <br /><br />My mom hijacked my wedding. She wanted me to concede to a Roman wedding. I said, "You may decide the facade. But it is MY wedding and I do not care what you say. It will be Byzantine." <br /><br />Our wedding was in Easter season and very long with full Divine Liturgy. We had some pretty good cantors, but it was still lack luster with all the non-byzantine guests standing there bewildered. Our dear friend who chanted the epistle woke up that morning to practice and decided the translation was not correct and re-translated it from archaic Greek. <br /><br />My husband had wished that the after festivities had been simpler. We had the teenagers from our parish running the music. That too, was a mistake. All said and done, nothing beats a Byzantine wedding! <br /><br />I hope that despite what ever troubles you face in your marriage you see it as deigned by God and our perfect God only makes "perfection."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367907451392729802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-64327552600134304552011-06-01T10:32:06.552-05:002011-06-01T10:32:06.552-05:00Diane Marie- re. margarine commercial- funny, but ...Diane Marie- re. margarine commercial- funny, but sad- depending on the style, I guess theuy can look like that- but it is such a wonderful, meaningful symbol- it is sad when people don't 'get' it<br /><br />(happy anniversary to you, too)priest's wifehttp://remnantofremnant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-79179302789803207742011-06-01T07:56:44.645-05:002011-06-01T07:56:44.645-05:00Happy anniversary!

It's a good time of the year for weddings - my brother was married this past weekend, today is our parents' anniversary, and my 5th anniversary is next week. <br /><br />My parents were married in the Byzantine church, back in the 70's. My mother's family is Roman Catholic, so were not familiar with Byzantine traditions. Do you remember the Imperial Margarine commercials from around then, where a crown appeared on the person's head after tasting it? I've been told that when the crowns were put on my parents' head, that's all my mother's family could think of.Diane Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-85167093142247773352011-05-31T20:55:33.791-05:002011-05-31T20:55:33.791-05:00Happy Anniversary!
