A wedding truly is a testament to which religious belief you affiliate with. At the start of this wedding planning process, I didn't realize how Catholic I am. Even considering venues, I was focusing on a site that allowed for a convenient combination of ceremony and reception. Who was to marry us, if there were any pre-marriage education to be done, if it would be recognized by the Catholic church, if Mass must be involved.. all of those questions really did not maturate. It really wasn't until I saw a space I thought a ceremony set up would interrupt the reception, then realizing the mother church of all Catholic churches in LA was right at its front door.. The gears starting to turn.
Just a week later, we are pretty firm on having a religious ceremony at a Catholic space. If the Cathedral can not accomodate our date, we will find another church. It's just one day, but it is a meaninful day. He and I will become one. The ultra convenience of one space servicing both purposes has been put aside to cultivate our shared interest in becoming married under God, with Jesus.
