Kneeling or Sitting during Catholic Ceremony
Em, on February 12, 2023 at 12:12 AM

I am having a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony. Is it typical for the bride and groom to not sit the entire ceremony, but instead kneel when the rest of the congregation sits?

Who walked you down the aisle?
Alyssa, on February 4, 2023 at 12:34 PM

Who walked you down the aisle and how did you ask them? I thought it was just a mutual understanding that my dad was walking me down the aisle but my mom mentioned that he was waiting to be asked. 🫠
