Filipino Wedding Traditions
September 25, 2012 by
Filed under Catholic Weddings
Article by Rafi Michael
The Engagement
After the couple has decided to marry, the first order of business is the pamanhikan, where the groom and his parents visit the bride’s family to ask for her hand in marriage. Wedding plans are often made at this time, including a discussion of the budget and guest list. Don’t be surprised if the groom-to-be is expected to run some errands or help out around the bride’s house. This tradition is called paninilbihan, where the suitor renders service to his future wife’s family to gain their approval.
The Wedding Outfits
The white wedding dress has become popular in the last hundred years or so with America’s influence in the Philippines. Before that, brides wore their best dress, in a festive color or even stylish black, to celebrate a wedding. Orange blossom bouquets and adornments were a must during the turn of the last century. For men, the barong tagalog is the traditional Filipino formal wear.
It is a cool, almost transparent, embroidered shirt, made from silky pina or jusi, two native ecru fabrics. It is worn untucked, over black pants, with a white t-shirt underneath. These days, a Filipino groom might wear the conventional black tux, but Filipino male wedding guests will usually show up in their finest barongs.
The Ceremony
In pre-colonial days, a wedding ceremony lasted three days. On the first day, the bride and groom were brought to the house of a priest or babaylan, who joined their hands over a plate of raw rice and blessed the couple. On the third day, the priest pricked the chests of both bride and groom and drew a little blood. Joining their hands, they declared their love for each other three times. The priest then fed them cooked rice from the same plate and gave them a drink of some of their blood mixed with water. Binding their hands and necks with a cord, he declared them married. The majority of Filipino weddings are now Catholic weddings, but some native traditions remain. Most have special “sponsors” who act as witnesses to the marriage. The principal sponsors could be godparents, counselors, a favorite uncle and aunt, even a parent. Secondary sponsors handle special parts of the ceremony, such as the candle, cord and veil ceremonies. Candle sponsors light two candles, which the bride and groom use to light a single candle to symbolize the joining of the two families and to invoke the light of Christ in their married life. Veil sponsors place a white veil over the bride’s head and the groom’s shoulders, a symbol of two people clothed as one. Cord sponsors drape the yugal (a decorative silk cord) in a figure-eight shape–to symbolize everlasting fidelity–over the shoulders of the bride and groom. The groom gives the bride 13 coins, or arrhae, blessed by the priest, as a sign of his dedication to his wife’s well-being and the welfare of their future children.
The Food
The Filipino wedding feast is elaborate. One feast celebrated at the turn of the last century involved these foods: First was served cold vermicelli soup. The soup was followed by meats of unlimited quantity–stewed goat, chicken minced with garlic, boiled ham, stuffed capon, roast pork and several kinds of fish. There were no salads, but plenty of relishes, including red peppers, olives, green mango pickles and crystallized fruits. For dessert, there were meringues, baked custard flan, coconut macaroons and sweetened seeds of the nipa plant.

Weddings in Italy – Short stories about the Celebrant
September 20, 2012 by
Filed under Catholic Weddings
Article by Marco Caccia
Since 2000 I attended dozens of weddings in Italy and I loved all the ceremonies able to reveal the exact expression of the communion between two souls. Whenever this alchemy happened, the talent of the celebrant took an important role in this magic. The tone of the voice, the warm manners, the piercing look and the ability to get the audience’s attention (knowing that you are not the main character of the day!) are the main qualities of a great celebrant. I can easily remember dozens of romantic and enthralling ceremonies, but I also attended many others services that I have completely forgotten. And many times the celebrant made the difference.Sometimes it is just a sentence.I remember a Tuscany wedding. It was a civil wedding in Florence in the superb Sala Rossa. If you have been in Florence you surely remember Piazza della Signoria, the main square of Florence, and at a corner the Renaissance masterpiece of Palazzo Vecchio. The sumptuous Florence wedding hall (Sala Rossa) is located inside Palazzo Vecchio and it is adorned with precious tapestries from the eighteenth-century tapestries. You can therefore imagine the admiration and the caution of the guests when they entered this marvelous hall that in 1860 belonged to the Prime Minister of The Italian State (Baron Bettino Ricasoli). The celebrant waited a few moments and then he said: “When I saw so many English people entering Sala Rossa I felt in danger. I thought you wanted to hit me because of Capello!” Capello, at that time, had just been appointed trainer of the English national football team and he was not well accepted by the English supporters. It was a second and all the audience burst in a good laugh: a distance was broken and a warm attention conquered.Sometimes it is a little fault.It was another Tuscany Wedding, a Catholic ceremony in the church of a fairy tale medieval castle in Chianti region. The local parish priest was very enthusiastic because an Irish couple wanted to get marry in his countryside church. His English knowledge was pretty basic, but he was so thrilled by the event that he studied the English version of the mass for weeks. On the wedding day he was very nervous and during the ceremony he made, indeed, some mistakes; nevertheless his oratory was so intense, enthralling and passionate that he created a kind of magic. It was one of the most romantic and touching ceremonies to which I have ever attended.Sometimes it is a poem.Italy is a country of Saints, Poets and Sailors, as the Italian saying goes. Regarding the poets I believe that many of them work in the public sector! In many civil weddings in Italy, in fact, the officiant likes to recite a love poem during the ceremony. Sometimes it is a poem written by a famous Italian poet like for example Dante, Petrarca or Leopardi, and sometimes the author is the celebrant himself. It could seem a funny thing but, instead, I have to admit that very often these readings are charming and romantic, with a genuine sense that springs from the passion that nurtured them.

What Are the Anniversary Gifts By Year?

Article by Stanley Lewis
On a typical wedding anniversary, you may expect to be showered with gifts such as roses, candy, or more. A stretch of the imagination might lead someone to giving gifts like Ipods or computers, maybe even plane tickets to an island of the coast of the Caribbean. But did you know that there are traditional gifts out there to give your sweetie on your anniversary? Well, there are. There are also special celebrations that can take place after you have beenmarried for fifty years. The gifts and celebrations change depending on whether you are in the U.K. or in the United States, but nonetheless are a great idea when you can’t think of a single thing to get your special someone on your anniversary. Over the years, the traditional list has changed into the modern list. In the traditional list, there are a few years that aren’t mentioned. Luckily, the modern list names every anniversary gift up until year 80. You can also give the gift of flowers, as a specific flower is named for each corresponding anniversary.
If you are able to celebrate your 60th, 65th, and 70th wedding anniversary in the Commonwealth realms, you may be able to receive a message from the monarch. In fact, if you can make it through that many years, you can receive future messages any year after that. To do this, you go to Buckingham Palace or the Governor-General’s office in other Commonwealth realms. The country of Canada can also recieve a special message from the Governor General for 50th and 55th wedding anniversaries. Australia has something similar to that of the United Kingdom and Canada. One can recieve a letter of congratulations from the Governor-General as well as the Prime Minister, local members of the parliament, and the federal Opposition leader on the 50th anniversary and every one after that. The President of the United States can send a special greeting to those couples who are celebrating their 50th anniversary or any one after that, and Roman Catholics are able to apply for a Papal blessing through their local diocese for special anniversaries such as the 25th, 50th, 60th, and on.
By naming the anniversaries, it provides guidance to spouses when considering appropriate gifts. Also, it comes in handy to party goers to help with the theme or decorations. The gifts are different in various countries, but there are some years that are common to peopel of most other nations. A fifth anniversary is the Wooden anniversary, the 10th is the Tin anniversary, the 15th is Crystal, the 20th is China, the 25th is Silver, the 30th is Pearl, the 40th is Ruby, the 50th is Golden, and the 60th is the Diamond. The gift tradition is believed to have originated in medieval Germany where if a succeeding couple lived to celebrate 25 years together, friends and neighbors of the wife presented her with a silver wreath. This was partly to celebrate the good fortune bestowed upon them and partly to recognize their happiness within the marriage. If they lived to celebrate their 50th anniversary, the wreath changed from silver to gold. Today, they are known as the Silver and Golden anniversaries.

The wedding is memorable happiness and romance of the new couple life and then learning the process of wedding ceremony is very important.
Did you ever think about your wedding? And do you know what the wedding process is? Let’s talk about wedding ceremony in Europe.
The wedding ceremony depends entirely on whether it is a civil (non-religious) wedding, and in what country or state it takes place, or whether it is a religious wedding and what type of religion. Some ceremonies can go on for days, some are an hour, and some are 20 minutes.
Regardless, there are parts to each kind of wedding which are the same, and are actually legal requirements.
A basic ceremony consists of the following parts. (A legal ceremony can be held with 5 parts, the Statement of the names of the couple, the Intention, the Vows, the Signing and the Declaration).
Every religion has its’ own formal ceremony. Generally you can find an ordinary wedding ceremony in the hymns of the church. So if you are a Catholics just follow your religion’s guides. Here is Protestant marriage ceremony version. If you are a protestant you can follow this.
First, the start words the master of ceremonies the priest to face the bride and groom and congratulations. Bride to his right, the groom to his left.
Second, Lord, we come before you, witnessed and blessings this man and this woman entering the sacred marriage. The Priest asks the bride: Are you willing to this man as your husband to enter into marriage with him? In sickness or health, or for any other reason to love him, take care of him, respect him, and accept him, always faithful to him until the end of life? The bride said yes. Then the Priest asks the bridegroom: Are you willing to this woman as your wife enters into marriage with her? In sickness or health, or any other reason, all love her and care for her, respect her and accept her, always faithful to her until the end of life? The bridegroom says yes. The priest said to everyone: if you are willing to do a card for their wedding vows? They say yes.
Third, express. The bride and bridegroom express their love to each other in front of Priest.After that the bride and groom exchange rings. Then everyone attending the wedding says Amen together.In the end, the priest motioned the crowd to stand up. “Let us stand up with reference to the messianic, to pray.” Newly married two knelt down and everyone singing the praises of blessing. The bride and the bridegroom kiss each other.
The end of the wedding ceremony is wonderful. Don’t you think so? Now if you want to hold a wedding in their way, just do it.
