homeschoolmom Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 [quote name='picchick' post='1612687' date='Jul 30 2008, 12:19 PM']Did she get married yet?[/quote] Are you saying I'm old? I have no idea. She was the sister of a student of mine when I was in college. Since that was 17 years ago and she was about 9, I'm guessing she very well could be.

Barbarus Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'm not a big fan of the garter toss, although I like the bouquet toss. I don't know whether I'll do it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you wearin that thing throughout the whole Mass and everything?[/quote] Uh, yeah. All the way through our nearly 2-hour nuptial Mass (our priest was incapable of doing a normal Sunday Mass in 1 hour, usually going for 1.5, so we warned everyone the nuptial Mass would be rather long. It was beautiful, though, and he chanted some of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
