Eastern Rite Weddings

[ufonium2]

I'm in the process of planning my Orthodox wedding (yay!!) and was wondering, considering the liturgical similarites between our services and Eastern Rite Catholics, if they have a crowning ceremony like ours. Anybody know?

I just wanted to say congratulations.

Whos the lucky guy?

Thanks He's a "good Christian boy" (my grandmother's words) who has long hair and tatoos (which appeals to the part of me that's still rebelling, I guess .) We met at church.

That's great to hear.

If you need an example of a booklet explaining the Orthodox wedding, I can send you a copy of the one which I wrote for my wedding (I think I still have it.)

Yes, I married in a Melkite church on Sept. 5. Crowns are used, and I believe it's the same ceremony used by the Orthodox.

Thanks for the answer, Rhetor!! Michael, that would be great. I'll PM you about it. Thanks again, guys!
