Thanks for the comments! I posted a few more clips from our Nuptial Mass. We will be married ten years next month and have four children now. We pray for more children and remain always open to new life.
Beautiful! I was only 11 when this wedding happened and now I work 2 blocks from this church and will be getting married in the Tridentine rite in 6 weeks!
@jumven The points you make are well-taken. My wife and I were relatively new to tradition at the time of our marriage. Had we known what we know now, we would have made more modest choices regarding the attire. I think it is important for everyone to put the wedding in the context of the time. It occurred in 2003. Long before the Motu Proprio and nuptial masses in the Tridentine form were not officially allowed. We were blessed just have it although it was imperfect. Thanks for watching.
I found & watched all 7 of your beautiful wedding videos. I was able to follow the Mass and enjoyed every minute of it. The priest gave a lovely sermon. People often ask, "What is the purpose of life?" The answer is very simple; our purpose in life is to get to heaven & take as many souls as possible to heaven with us. Pain & suffering will come our way but we will embrace them as Jesus embraced His cross. Pain & suffering bring us closer to Him and, at the same time, purify our souls.
There is no more beautiful liturgy than the traditional Latin Mass. However, when I was married,nearly 40 years ago. no one would have worn a strapless dress. We used to wear little cape things over them.
Beautiful!!!! Wish the video was longer. I hope you both continue to be devout traditional Catholics and keep your promise to God (14:54), "Will you accept children lovingly from God and bring them up according to the law of Christ in His church" Thank you for sharing your special day. Pax Christi
What a blessing to have a Traditional Latin Mass! In my diocese most people - including priests - are either ignorant of its existence, or regard it as redundancy which hinders the progress of modernizing the Church. Many simply don't appreciate its spiritual and external beauty! Wish you a happy marriage! I truly love Palestrina's Mass setting - impressive!
Although beautiful in appearance, this has little to do with the Latin Mass. Besides the alter, the dress of bride and groom needed to be changed. Her's is self evident. His, there is no need for his ceremonial sword. (All military weapons are to be left outside of a Church.)
Thank you for your kind comment, Larissa. What I meant was that prior to the Motu Proprio in 2007, many dioceses only allowed Sunday Tridentine masses and prohibited nuptial and funeral masses in the old rite. It was a gray area that was interpreted differently depending on the bishop. When I was married in 2003, it was not assured that I would even be able to have Tridentine Nuptial Mass. Everyone was re-learning the protocol and rubrics after having had very few such liturgies in the past.
I've been planning the music for my own nuptial mass coming up on July 2nd of this year. I was happy to find this video series as I have just moved out of DC and was a parishioner of St. Mary's TLM. My last name (and that of my bride to be) is also O'Neill. Strange world. May God be with you.
navymsc lucky bastard. most of us aren't lucky enough to find a beautiful faithful catholic woman these days. I can't decide whether to hate you out of envy or congratulate you.
@jumven Technically as far as I know, a person CAN get a dispensation for The TRL (Traditional Roman Liturgy) to be celebrated in the vernacular. The vernacular DOES NOT need to be a dirty word amongst Traditionalists. Form supercedes language in such cases. I mean Byzantine and Oriental Catholics have reverent Liturgies that are sometimes conducted in hieratic forms of the vernacular (Arabic wasn't originally a liturgical tongue of The Church.). Likewise, The Roman Rite has vernacular forms.
To your stating that I am mistaken, I say you are not well acquainted with the various forms of The TRL which have indeed BEEN granted dispensations to include the vernacular in the Liturgy, or to completely celebrate it as such. These all come MUCH earlier than the era of Pope Pius XII. One such example would be the Mission Use Liturgies of The US, which for all intents, and purposes are the form proper to The US.
hmm the altar remindes me a bit of the one at st peters in fort wayne indiana a bit, but the carving style is more remenecent of Saint Patricks, which has an al carrara marble front no joke solid stone the while altar and covering of the acutal sanctuary, oh and the stainglass looks like it is in the bavarian style we have a few churches here in fort wayne with that, as for the mass thank you for shareing as there are soo few videos of the nuptual mass in the extraornary form.
However, the Council of Trent anathematized the opinion that 100% of the Roman Liturgy ought to be in the vernacular, and thereby advocated the preservation of parts of the Mass reserved for Latin alone. Likewise, Vatican II did not say anything contrary to that, and mandated that Latin ought to remain in the Liturgy. It was only afterward and without the authority of the Council that Masses began to be regularly celebrated without a shred of Latin and completely in the vernacular, which as far
Congratulations on your beautiful marriage, and may God grant you both the grace necessary to endure in joy and love together unto the end. One thing I would say however regarding what you said about the vernacular is that we have to be careful with what we mean by it. If we mean a large amount of the liturgy being celebrated in a common language, but some parts being reserved for Latin, great. Nothing wrong with that at all.
As to the "bridesmaids"... (Americans define "godmothers" differently. ) In America, it is customary to have an equal number of bridesmaids for the groomsmen or ushers.
This wedding is plain awesome. As for those critical of it, lighten up and lay off the Vortex videos. This wedding did more for bringing people closer to Christ than 99.999% of CATHOLIC weddings being conducted in this day and age. I especially like the sword.
@@navymsc I kind of got that feeling. I'm surprised that the priest didn't give the couple some input into the dress. Telling them about modest dress prayer to the wedding
@@KMF3 Even priests were having to "relearn" modesty instruction in the early 2000s. This was an diocesan priest who gave no such counsel. Not because he was a bad priest, but because both priest and couple were learning customs that had been lost. Not all were learned before the wedding day. Not perfect, but someone had to go first. These were pretty early marriages for TLM folks. Totally different dynamic in those days. In fact, Former Cardinal McCarrick almost forbid this TLM nuptial Mass from happening. Only a late save by the pastor of the parish ensured it could even be celebrated in the old rite. Now that those battles are behind us, we can focus on modest dress and other important details.

Even thought, it was a very nice ceremony. Certanly a lot nicer than my sister's wedding some time ago.

Who is the organist? That's some of the most awesome music I've ever heard. What was the name of the processional piece?
Neil Weston was the organist. The processional was Grand Choir Triumphant in A Major by Guilmant.

latin mass is very good for ever
as I know is dangerously close to that anathema.

Why are the women not wearing veils
I think because it was 2003 and they were new to Tradition.

Why no here comes the bride?
That is a Protestant/ secular tradition and not Catholic.
@jumven Wedding rite should be in englis should it not?
No
