The Priest's Craft: marriage

When the bridal couple arrive at the bottom of the church, the clergy and servers can go down to meet them and conduct them up the church. Otherwise, you will have the bride and the bridesmaids sitting on the one side and the bridegroom and best man on the other side of the church.

It is the one occasion on which the man stands on the right side of the woman.

When they come up to the altar rails together, you read the charge to them.

Then bless and hallow the ring, the Bride is given away and the man takes her right hand and says after you the words: "I, name, take thee."

The Duration of the Bond

If the words "till the death us here do part" are too difficult, then far better not go through a sacrament which was intended for that time.

Such people can just, have a blessing.

The point is that the union you make does last.

I think myself that the whole institution of marriage need a revision, but I don't care to take the responsibility for changing the conditions.

Re-marriage After Divorce

You can re-marry a divorced person but you must use your discretion. There is no moral difficulty about remarrying the innocent party.

With regard to the other you must use your discretion.

One way out of it is to give a blessing. I don't mind giving a blessing to anybody! In this case, you can say a few prayers.

The occult point is that the first marriage was intended to make a life link.
