EmilyAnn Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1345569225' post='2471305'] We're thinking a Fall wedding, but it won't be for a few years. She wants to do it "legally" or some weird jargin like that. [/quote] I expect an invitation. If it's not for a few years I of course won't be attending, but still.

We're the same age so it isn't like she will be fourteen or anything like that. Nearly seventeen is grown up enough, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It would have to be pretty early in the fall, I could be entering in September. In England you can get married at 16 with your parents permission. I don't know what the laws are in the US, but I'd guess they'd be similar. If you can't move it up before my entrance, you'll just have to honeymoon on the Isle of Wight. St. Cecilia's has a guest house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I suppose we could in theory get married in Rome and then go on a flight to England. I would definitely enjoy going to England, especially meeting Benedictine Nuns there. The only flaw with a wedding at Saint Peter's Basilica is once we get there I will not be good for any wedding preparations. I'll skip them and get lost as I wander throughout the halls of the Basilica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe as an ordination gift? You have actually been there? I have never left the Americas. I've never even been to Canada.

Join Quarr Abbey and you could come say Mass for the nuns all the time - the Quarr monks are amazing. We owe so much to them, they come all the way to St. Cecilia's every day to say Mass for us. I have indeed been there. Best vacation ever. I think my mom and my sister eventually got fed up of me dragging them into every single church we passed. But they're all so beautiful!

It must be hard when it comes to jobs because some may accept this or that one but not the one you have, that is of course if England is like America (Which it hopefully isn't in this regard).
