Can I have a church wedding if I come to Australia on a tourist visa?
Q. I am planning to visit Australia on a tourist visa as my fiance works there (not a permanent resident). Can we have our wedding in a church in Australia? I belong to the Mar thoma church. Is it possible to have it in a Mar thoma church? It would be of great help if anybody can help me with a useful answer. Thanks.

A. I've never heard of a Mar thoma church, but if you can find one in Australia and if its minister(?) is legally able to perform marriages, then you will be able to marry there if you meet the Australian legal requirements for being able to marry - being from overseas presents no problems if you have the correct documentation.

Can my husband wear his alphas to our church wedding?
Q. My husband and I had a very small beach wedding in May and we're planning on having a church wedding after he deploys. For our beach wedding he wore his blues. The first time I saw him in his alphas I fell in love all over again... ;) haha. Well I know that blues are for formal occasions, can Alphas also be worn at formal gatherings (I saw some guys wearing them at the ball)? I like the vintage feel of alphas.

A. They can be... But they're usually only worn if blues aren't available. It's your wedding though, you can do whatever you want.

How can my husband annul his previous church wedding in Mexico?
Q. My husband was previously married by civil court and came to Rosarito, Mexico to marry in a Catholic church. My question is, can we get married in California in a Catholic church? Or does he have to annul the previous church wedding in Rosarito, Mexico?
Asked by Sandra - Fri Jul 9 16:20:30 2010 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The civil court wedding is very easily declared null for "lack of canonical form." Any church wedding would also have to be declared null before you could marry again. I'm not clear on how many times he has married and to whom and how (church or civil).

What is a good selection for an amateur violinst to play at a Church wedding?
Q. My sister is getting married next year and wants me to play a violin solo. I am an amateur, but I want to play a song that is appropriate and will sound beautiful (after months of practice)! The wedding is *mostly* a traditional Catholic Church wedding, with some personal twists to make it especially memorable. I am also Matron of Honor!
Asked by Patrice - Sun Aug 12 16:49:47 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Anything by J.S. Bach works. There are two versions of Ave Maria. The one most people think of is by Schubert but Charles Gounod wrote one as well. I have found that Schubert's works a little better if you won't have an accompanist. There are many different editions but you can always cut the difficult sections out. Traditional church hymns such as Allelluia! Sing to Jesus; All Creatures of Our God and King; Be Thou My Vision; Praise to the Lord, the Almighty; Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee (Ode to Joy); or any others you particularly like make a tasteful addition as well. They are also easy to play and highly appropriate. Ask your sister what she would prefer.

Ceremony start time for a church wedding?

A. Between 2-3. A 3 hour gap may seem like a lot but weddings almost never start on time. They usually start 20-30 minutes late, then there is however long the ceremony may take, and time to do the receiving line, and then do your pictures. I'm not sure if you do receiving lines in Australia though, they are popular in the USA.

A. No, I think it's usually an all-or-nothing thing. Weddings are expensive. You should think about who is considered a "friend" and who is just an "acquaintance." Acquaintances won't be expected to be invited; if they should ask, you could say, "Yes, the cost for the wedding is killing me; unfortunately we've had to whittle our guest list down from everyone we'd like to invite..." and leave it at that. You can't say, "Come for my wedding but not for supper."

Church Wedding. What should I ask when calling?
Q. I am planning a church wedding for the end of May. Unfortunately we are a little behind in picking a location. We wanted an outdoor wedding but are worried about the weather, so we have now decided on a church wedding. Right now I am waiting for the church to return my call. What should I ask them other than if it is available for the time and day and fees? Is there anything else that would be important to know ahead of time?
Asked by CJ's Mommy - Wed Feb 18 14:44:06 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Find out where exactly the ceremony will be... sometimes churches have a sanctuary and a chapel.. and how many it can hold. Ask about the officiant- if you have your own, ask if you can use them, if not, ask if their officiant will do it. If you haven't seen the church yet, you may want to ask if there is a center aisle.. this is more important to some than others, but you'll want to know. Find out if the church requires any pre-marital counseling or classes and where and when you should take them. If you do decide on a church, make sure that you see it. Also, most churches will give you the 'wedding guidelines' that outline their expectations for your wedding.

Ask about the officiant- if you have your own, ask if you can use them, if not, ask if their officiant will do it. If you haven't seen the church yet, you may want to ask if there is a center aisle.. this is more important to some than others, but you'll want to know. Find out if the church requires any pre-marital counseling or classes and where and when you should take them. If you do decide on a church, make sure that you see it. Also, most churches will give you the 'wedding guidelines' that outline their expectations for your wedding.
