Catholic weddings involve a full Mass
not always - 20 minutes at the court house, then 20 minutes after Mass on Sunday

Got to love convalidation although that is not what is normally done

22 minutes long, and without checking, I think we are just as married as our fellow Jews


My ex wife's family had a lot of exposure to Jews as Hondurans. They all knew what was going on after we broke the glass under the Chupah and sent them all to "cocktail hour" while we disappeared. To the less randy relatives, we just explained that we had to sign the Ketubah with the Rabbi.

The vows are nearly the same for all Christian weddings.

quote:

"I, _____, take you, _____, for my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. I will love and honor you all the days of my life."

Martha Stewart.com

Anything else in a Protestant wedding is generally planned by the bride , the groom, boths families. The bride and her family did the planning in the 70's when I was marrying age.

Common structure and Protestant makes an oxymoron.

It's almost as if Protestantism isn't a denomination but a collection of many denominations.

Thank you. I didn’t have the energy. As a rule, this board’s understanding of Protestantism is so bad I just assume I’m being trolled.

TBH this board's understanding of Catholicism is not much better.

My dad is a Southern Baptist but enjoys learning about other religions. He's read the Catholic Catechism cover to cover. At one time he was the only non Catholic in his workplace and his knowledge of Catholicism was much better than the cradle Catholics.

Depends on how the celebrant wants to do the wedding.

Well, to put it in the proper context, the widow next door had been married seven times before. And every one was a Henry.
That’s cause she wouldn’t have a Willie or a Sam.

Best weddings are in the First Intergalactic Temple (Reformed) of the Druids religion…

Always lots of drama at the altar, and a runaway bride.

Protestant wedding for fishing guides.

A lack of structure is superior. You can do it anyway you choose.

Go to a Catholic or Jewish wedding, and they're always the same structure due to religious/church traditions and services.
one of the many reasons they dominate the goyim

Technically Baptists are not exactly Protestant, in the Reformation based sense. Emerging directly from the Catholic Church, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Reformed churches are Protestant, and Anglicans, Episcopalians, Methodists, Wesleyans are subsets, emerging slightly later. Baptists emerged from a Separatist movement, that was more congregational in nature.


This isn't true. They were present during the reformation they just didn't think the reforms went far enough and as such were also persecuted by the Presbyterians, Church of England etc.

Not a common structure to Protestant services anywhere.

I've been to many christian weddings and I can tell you the structure isn't unique in any regards.

Length of ceremony example:

Male and female classmates of mine were getting married in a large church with a lot of guests at 1:00 in the afternoon.

I was approaching the church around 12:50 and the bride and groom were outside taking photos of them getting into the limousine. I figured they were doing it to have no one else appearing in the photos after the ceremony.

I stopped on the sidewalk to stay clear of the photos, then turned to greet another of our classmates who was trailing me.

The limo drove off with the bride and groom. My classmate asked what are they doing? I told him they were just doing photos.

The church began to discharge. What? Limo was way off in the distance.

I asked the groom at the reception what happened. He said that at about 12:35-12:40 it appeared that no one else was coming, so he and his bride told the minister let’s get it over with.

A ten-minute ceremony held twenty minutes early.

Nearly 40 years ago and they are still married.

Some of my best trolling comes from religious threads but I never know exactly where the line is since these used to get whacked early.

With that said,

This board: "we need to return to traditions"

Also this board: "my niece is getting married in front of a lemon tree and the officiant is her cousin who played football at State. Her dog Boone is the ring bearer and they're walking down the aisle to Ed Sheeran. It shouldn't last but about 10 minutes"
