Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 [quote name='livingHimloud' date='Sep 17 2004, 09:33 AM'] one more thing, can we not say that this bride was thinking of herself as the princess. princesses are polite, and sweet and think about others, which is why they are so great. i have princess day every wednesday, and i never keep anyone waiting anywhere. princesses embrace the whole 'i'm third' concept (God first, others second, i'm third). she's giving the name of princess a bad rep. shame on her. i cleaned up an exploded toilet on one of my princess days. tsk. tsk. if she wants to be princess for the day, she needs to focus on who her king is first, and show everyone what His daughters act like.

BrightSunshine Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Although I don't think the priest should have yelled at the bride right thee in front of every one, I do think that she should have been more considerate to the preist, alter servers, the groom, and everyone there and should have tried not to be late. I mean after 40 minutes it is hard to believe that she was even trying to be on time. :shame: A family member or I would have to be in the hospital or something for me to be late when I get married.

stef22 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 the priest speaks the truth, women need to get there act together. get your hair done, but don't you think its more important to actually come to the wedding? oh well, good luck to that couple. oh and i think the priest could've been a little more charitable.

Paladin D Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Good for him (the priest), waiting 45 minutes is too long. I wonder what was going through the groom's mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Sep 16 2004, 08:23 PM'] No.... not a bad priest. Brides are WAY too into the wedding and being "Princess for the day" that they think the world revolves around them. He was in the church... he didn't NOT marry them... Unless there was an emergency (a broken fingernail is not an emergency), she should be on time. [/quote] amen to that! and just think of what her poor husband-to-be was thinking of!

Soldier4Him Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 if you don't want to run down the aisle, maybe you should rethink your decision to marry..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 In my opinion, if there was a legitimate reason for being late (someone's ill, car problems etc.) there's no reason not to call... certainly someone in that church had a cell phone. Now I say this as a non-cell phone owner, but if it was my wedding day, I would find a way to contact the church. However, my guess is that she was "running late" and knew that they couldn't start without her and didn't give a second thought to anyone else.

dUSt Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 When I was married, our priest was like "I'm starting the wedding at 1pm, with or without you". He wasn't lying either. He literally started the procession as the bride's hair was still being done. She had about 3 minutes to finish it before it was her turn to walk down the aisle. haha It was fun.

homeschoolmom Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I guess it sort of comes down to who's in charge of the sacrament-- the priest (and the Church) or the bride and/or groom... The priest is not a hired employee like the caterer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasJis Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 It doesn't even come to that. The Bride knows well in advance when the wedding is. In fact, she chose the date and time. It is the epitomy of selfishness and rudeness to keep the people and priests waiting. And think about the priest standing there for a 1/2 hour. 5 minutes is the longest to keep people waiting. If there is some emergency, then the Bride should let the priest and congregation know when they will be ready. That way an anouncement could be made that the Mass will start in 15 or 30 minutes. I am shocked people would even stick up for the Bride in this case. If my wife had done that too me, I would think that I was making a big mistake marrying somebody with that little regard for others. If I was there as a friend or something, I'd leave after 45 minutes if there wasn't an announcement made. In fact, I won't stay at a reception if the B&G don't show up within an hour. I'm there for them, not the food or alcohol. If my presence means so little to them that they don't make a serious effort to be there within a reasonable time, no point in hanging out. When I got married (and same with my siblings and lot's of my friends) you tell the photographer they have 15 minutes for pictures afterwards. You also tell the family and friends you want to be in the pics that they have to be there or they're not in the photos. It's always worked out that way. I once attended a wedding that had a fancy sit-down dinner in a nice hotel. They did not open the bar or have any food until the B&G arrived. After about an hour, with people all ticked off, dozens of people left. I wanted to go, but my wife wouldn't let me. After almost 2 hours, the B&G, Bridal party, and the parents showed up. Their excuse? Time spent with the photographer. Different poses. Outfit changes. etc. etc. Totally and completely ruined the entire meaning of the day as far as I was concerned. Instead of sharing their joy, the couple (and families) inflicted their hedonistic self-asorbtion on all their "friends" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattosika Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 the priest that was supposed to married my parents left in a different fashion, God bless his soul he had a heart attack right in the middle of the celebration. I used to work for a catering service and it was quite annoying if the wedding ended some 45 minutes then when it was supposed to it royaly screws up all your plans. I feel for those who had to wait to. But where do you draw the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetarplayer Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I can understand why he would do such a thing. However, none of us here know the true reason why she was late and why she didn't tell anyone that she would be late. Perhaps even the priest didn't know the true reason why she was late. It is unfair of us to judge her and call her selfish without knowing her motives. -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
