My itty bitty Pagan wedding

Heather, on February 21, 2023 at 7:25 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 11
I want to honor my parents and mother in law’s faiths, aside from their corsages having little crosses on them I am a bit at a loss.


I am looking for a simple and sweet passage to be included during the ceremony, but I am at a loss and open to suggestions…
Thank you in advance..

    While it’s a gracious thought, I think it’s unnecessary. This is your wedding, and should be about you and your spouse. There’s no reason to acknowledge other faiths. When I go to a Catholic family members wedding, I don’t expect them to acknowledge my faith that is different from theirs, and I’m sure none of your guests expect that either. And tbh, doing so will likely just needlessly bring more attention to the issue. Having the corsages with little crosses is more than enough.

    That’s sweet that you want to honor important people in your life on your wedding day. Very selfless of you and it’s definitely a big special day for them too.


    Here’s a passage from the Bible that talks about love 💕My itty bitty Pagan wedding 1

    Thank you, there is a huge part of me that wants to stick to my own faith, but our folks are all mid to late 70’s and we respect and appreciate them greatly, Just want to do a small nod to their faiths. Especially when my amazing mother in law has never been exposed to much of my faith. I adore her and to me it’s a sign of respect.

    Thank you, I had thought about this, but wasn’t sure if there were other options, it definitely is at the top of my list…. Ok, it’s the only one on my list. 😁

    I personally would not go against my faith for anymore and if they can't respect that it would be hard for me to believe in a faith or support people in a certain faith whos being inconsiderate. Again, It's your wedding and do what you want but changing the faith of your wedding is a huge deal. I hope you can figure it out Smiley smile

    Oh no.. My ceremony is full on Pagan, bridesmaid/groomsmen to represent each corner that they will call, each element represented on a Pagan alter with the Triple Goddess hanging on vines behind us, while we handfast and jump the broom. It is so Pagan we are doing a blood rituals and a matching tattoo for my side of the wedding party. It is SO PAGAN that we are rushing guests away to perform full moon rituals at a different location. I'll be a barefoot bride with symbolism everywhere..

    I'm pretty excited, can you tell? Smiley smile

    I'm not going against my faith, but I can honor those who raised me to choose my own path and have loved me for the past 34 years even though I totally went against my upbringing. I can also honor the amazing woman who raised the first man to truly love, accept, and respect me in healthy ways, who also loves me and has welcomed me as her daughter. It's a little nod.. A simple sign of respect so that they can pray over us in their own manner while I shove my faith down their throats.. Which is absolutely against my faith, but it is my wedding.. I can bend a little bit to make them feel comfortable. Smiley smile

    Agree with this. Have the ceremony be pagan because that is what you both are. Put the crosses in/on the corsages. Leave it at that. Generally guests go in knowing that the couple may have a different belief system than their guests and it’s not expected to cater to every different belief system among the guest list.
