A Canonist’s Guide to

Scheduling a Wedding

It is the right for all baptised Canonists to partake in one of God’s holiest sacraments. This document shall address one of the most commonplace sacraments of all: matrimony. If we have not engaged in the sacrament ourselves, there is a good chance that we know someone who has. By partaking in this sacrament, you are bringing yourself closer to God and furthering His virtues.

 

Before you schedule a wedding with a priest, you must first ensure that your partnership is legal within the confines of Canon Law and thus God’s virtue. Is the partnership between a man and a woman? Are both of you baptised? Are both of you above eighteen? Are you unrelated by blood and by the marriage of others (with the exception of cousins)? Are both of you the same race? Do you both intend to have children and raise them as baptised Canonists? If you’ve said yes to all of these questions, then your partnership is allowed. There are exceptions, but for the common Canonist, adherence to those is enough.

 

Now that you know your partnership is according to God’s virtue, now comes the time for you to schedule your wedding. A common mistake is that people are too eager and set a time they would like and send out invites to their close friends with that time, but they never organised a time with a priest beforehand. 

 

Priests often have a busy schedule, and by setting a time without one you will not have anyone to perform the sacrament and make your partnership holy before the eyes of God. Furthermore, it is inconsiderate to consult a priest very shortly before you want the wedding to start and expect them to perform the sacrament when they may have already planned to help others at that time. The sacrament of matrimony can be a very lengthy process, so it is important that the priest is prepared and willing.

 

It is essential that a time is organised with your local priests to ensure that the priest performing the sacrament is prepared and ready. This is the time that you tell the priest of any relevant details such as where the location of the wedding shall take place, any additional vows, and any jewellery such as a ring, so that they can take it into consideration when planning the course of the sacrament.

 

Now that you know how to schedule a wedding the right way, feel free to put this method to use when you are considering undergoing the sacrament of matrimony.
