Morning all,

I got a question for some of my Anglican/Episcopal friends here...

My civil marriage is being blessed in the Episcopal Church this coming Wednesday. Now I have read the ceremony in the BOCP, and its kinda like a shortened wedding service of sorts. Even the collect, lessons, and prayers come from the wedding service. Sidhe and I do not want to have a big deal--we are having a few friends there and want something low-key and this is something we're kinda making a point of--after all this is simply for us and no one else really. However I have a question. A silly question but a question none the less..

What do you all think would be a proper level of dress for this ceremony? I don't want to wear something completely over dressy but I obviously don't want to wear yoga pants and a shirt. Also should Sidhe and I offer to go to dinner with the guests who show up or cook something (provided I would be allowed to use the church hall) with those who show up for our ceremony or simply offer a little gift or "wedding favor" Or is that not proper in this situation?

HALP!

Mrs Sidhe:

:o

I have no idea when it comes to clothing and stuff, if i ever got married and had my way it would shorts and t-shirts or normal clothing and stuff. Sorry.

Hope you find a way though and hope it goes well

If I had my way it would be just jeans and some kind of dark colored tye-dye shirt. But I think in someway that I should dress up or that I need to. I don't really know.

I'm sure it will go well. Like I said--it shouldn't be any big deal.

 

[Andy Broadley]

Yeah? Well, I bet you don't get to sit on a comfy new reclining sofa...

This is also true...

 

[Andy Broadley]

Yeah, it is pretty cool. We don't usually get the chance (i.e. the money) to buy new furniture, so it is a special occasion for us!

Downside is, eating is not allowed on that particular sofa, since it is new!

lol...for now at least

Wonderful! Please remind us again closer to the time and we can pray for you!

As for clothing - perhaps something similar to what you would wear for a baptism? In the UK, wedding gear is fairly full-on (we like to dress up, given the chance), but baptisms are more varied - anything from wedding guest gear to smart casual (eg chinos and a smart blouse).

I have to say, though, that any blessings of a civil ceremony that I have been to have been pretty identical to an actual marriage ceremony. These have always taken place the day after the civil wedding, rather than some time afterwards, which I'm sure would make a difference.

Thanks I will.

Since there has been about 4 years in time between the civil ceremony and the marriage blessing would you dress it down very much? I kinda like the idea of dressing it up--though I do want to be mindful of the time past and that there won't be alot of people there.

Do you have any thoughts of what kind of "wedding favor" to give to guests?

Hi Naomi

Hi Andy.

Eri, what about long robes? I think that some nice camo robes would suit you, and pink ones for Sam.

 

[Andy Broadley]

France 9 England 14

Awesome...

 

[TomUK]

Being in the final is amazing enough, but to do it by beating the French is the best thing ever!!!

Robes could work very nicely! I'll tell Sam about it.
