Our Wedding

Mutual friends invited both of us to a movie night where we met - and proceeded to talk throughout the entire movie. There was an instant connection between us and that was evident to everyone around us. Our paths crossed a few more times before our first date at a coffee shop (neither of us drink coffee...). After our first summer together, we both knew this was really going somewhere. Many dates spent walking, cooking, watching movies, taking trips to Kansas City, and learning more about each other everyday. Our engagement was a sweet, intimate one spent at Eurekas Springs finishing off the evening with a private proposal in the park. It was perfect. Since then, we have been planning not only our wedding, but our future together, and we can't wait for both.

Who knew Batman was such a good matchmaker?

Wedding Party

Why Latin?Jesus, during the Last Supper, prayed for the unity of the Church. The Eucharist He gave to us that night to bring about and express that holy unity/communion, this is why we call it "Holy Communion". This unity is communicated in the Holy Mass going back centuries as we all join in the same prayers, say the same readings, see the same vestments, kneel, sit, and stand at the same times. In keeping with this unity, no matter where you were in the world, the Mass would be celebrated in one language: Latin. No longer a language of everyday use, The Traditional Latin Mass helps us remember that the Mass is a sacred and Holy, and it lifts our minds to that which is eternal.

The Traditional Latin Mass (also known as the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, or the Usus Antiquior is the Liturgy of the Catholic Church. This form of Mass has been used for many centuries relatively unchanged until 1969 when the Catholic Church introduced the Novus Ordo Mass. Pope Paul VI, during the Second Vatican Council, allowed for various changes like the use of the vernacular language in the liturgy instead of Latin and a revised structure for the Mass itself. However, the Traditional Latin Mass is still practiced today and is spoken and sang in Latin as in prior centuries. Important FAQ's Pew missals are available to read the Mass in English. The wedding ceremony (Rite of Marriage) is performed first, at the beginning of the Mass, followed by the rest of the Mass uninterrupted. Holy Communion is received&nbsp;by kneeling at the altar rail and receiving the consecrated host on the tongue, not in the hand. Women traditionally wear veils&nbsp;as a sign of humility, submission to God, and reverence for the sacredness of the Eucharist, signifying their role as vessels of life and mirroring the practice of covering sacred objects;&nbsp;this practice is rooted in biblical teachings where women were instructed to cover their heads during prayer. The apostolic tradition of covering the head in church is encouraged, but not required Modesty in Dress In respect of Our Lord Jess Christ and the dignity of the human person Modest in Dress is requested.
