I converted to Catholicism from atheism at 19, years before I met my future husband. My husband is also Catholic (a cradle Catholic, baptized and brought up Catholic since a baby). When we got married most of my family members were atheist/agnostic or otherwise very unfamiliar with Catholicism, so we created an Order of Service, which was a beautiful printed booklet that was handed out as people arrived. It said “Welcome to the Wedding of (my name) and (my husband’s name)” on the cover with lovely illustrations. It had absolutely all the Mass, including the words of everything (such as the Creed, and the songs, and a litany to the saints that was sung) PLUS all the directions such as “all kneel” or “please stand” so non-Catholic guests could anticipate what would happen and not feel embarrassed, confused or awkward. Obviously people are free to not kneel etc but at least they knew what the rest of the congregation would be doing. I wanted to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible to all our guests. Many non-Catholics told us what a beautiful and moving wedding it was and my Protestant Aunt and Uncle were in tears and said the music was the most beautiful they had ever heard at a wedding - we had live music and a friend sang Ave Marie during the receiving of Communion. We also got married a historic Catholic Church In London, England. It was smaller than usual but very ornate and felt intimate. We have been happily married 27 years! Congratulations on your wedding Lizzie!
I recently got married in the Roman Rite in October! I converted about 5 years ago from Lutheranism. Thank you for sharing your story! God Bless
Do you watch Dr Gavin ortlund?
I loved this video! I loved our Catholic wedding! It was one of the best days of my life. The sacrament of marriage is so special and to receive the Eucharist was so amazing to have God part of our marriage and we also brought roses to Mary to include our mother in Heaven as well. I love Catholicism, because I love God so much and His Church is where I feel at home. Congratulations! Not sure if your wedding was recent or not. You looked beautiful!
Amen Amen Amen.
I am so excited for my Catholic wedding and building a strong, faithful Catholic family
Getting married in the Byzantine rite this May! My fiance and his family are all Roman Catholic but it'll be in my church. I'm so excited. 🙂
I LOVE Byzantine, your wedding photos will be so beautiful! Congratulations on your wedding 🥰
What a beautiful wedding! I pray you two have a wonderful marriage.
We have been SO happy!
@@LizziesAnswers How do you get out of the grave being water sprinkled as a baby?
As a catholic my wedding in the churche where i grew up was my dream come true...
I love that you wore your wedding dress during this video! I got married around the same time you did and have been dying to wear my dress again. Congratulations, Lizzie and Trevor!
Please continue in RUclips even with kids, it doesn’t matter if you take a few months, I’m interested in how you will be handling their education ❤ Congratulations on your marriage!
Congratulations of your beautiful wedding. I did fall pregnant during my cycle (ovulated very early) - to this day I believe it was God's will for us to have another child, as we were not planning another child - a true gift from God was another little girl
Your excitement is palpable!!! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and informative video!
Everything looks great Lizzie. Congratulations and God bless you both in your new journey of family life. 😇🥳
Watching your wedding video brings a joyful tear to my eye. So blessed to see this!
SOooooo lovely to see footage of your Catholic wedding.
Beautiful wedding. You both are absolutely aglow. And great video! You will be able to share it all with your friends, children and family and relive it all at anytime. Best wishes to you both.
Been watching you several time.! Congratulations and God continue to bless you.
You both look stunningly peaceful & beautiful on your wedding. Congratulations!
Wow this video was very informative and much needed
Wish I was catholic when I got married😭😭 the pastor who married us was an adulterer super Pentecostal man who even said to my husband not to let me take my husbands money. He said it jokingly but I glared at him since he cheated on his wife and blamed all women for his mistake. 😤😤
I loved the footage and also the INFO ❤️
Loving the wedding footage!
You looked so beautiful Lizzie on your wedding day, I am so happy for you!
Congratulations Lizzie and I wish you a blessed marriage life
Congratulation sister Lizzie on your wedding. I pray you and your husband have a wonderful marriage. Can't wait for your announcement 'bout Lizzie Jr. 😇💖
Amazing for catechists who fail to capture the excitement of Gods call to a vocation especially from a modern lady’s perspective.
God bless you and your Husband. Thanks for sharing 🙏
This was beautiful. Congratulations
Congratulations. Great video.
I so love your videos, always.
I'm so happy for you!
Congratulations!!!
so glad i watched this video!! thanks for telling us this stuff hahahaha!
So happy for you Lizzy! Both my husband and I have mental health issues. Own Sacramental marriage hasn't always been easy. From my experience, I suggest you go only to people that support marriage when you have struggles.
Congratulations and best wishes for a happy life together in Christ's Church.
There is another major difference: the priest does not marry the couple but they marry each other by the vows they make in front of God.The priest is just the witness of the oath. That is why the priest does not say "I declare you husband and wife", but rather something like "I present to you Mrs. and Mrs. xxxxx" (to the congregation)
Thanks for covering declarations of nullity! Topic isn't covered enough and people can be very cynical about the Church's process (like you said, the "it's just Catholic divorce" false belief) -- but having been through the process in my mid-twenties and speaking from experience, sometimes people DO blatantly lie, and it's beautiful that the Church doesn't trap people when that happens.
You're a beautiful bride in any setting!
Amazing 😀beautiful👏
I am not married ye but there are soo many wonderful Catholic kids books and toys out there especially in Enlgish. I can't wait to hear what you think of them.
Congratulations!!
I think marriage prep time depends a bit on the priest. We had a 75 day engagement and our priest worked with us. Our priest knew my husband's family well. Also, I was a convert, so the first Catholic wedding I ever attended was my own. I had to learn so much!
Your wedding day is one of the most joyful, but fir us the birth of our children was even better than our wedding. The culmination of our marriage! I have heard it described as the incarnation of our love!
I love so much this video 😍 ❤️ from 🇮🇱
Having my babies is the happiest day ever
And Congrates My Sweet Catholic Woman.
Amazing good job
Another big difference between Catholic and Protestant weddings is that a catholic couple ALWAYS gets married in the prescence of a crucifix to symbolize that just like Christ the husband and wife are now entering into a lifetime of dying to themselves and their own wants and needs and living a life of sacrificial love for their spouse and children so as to help them get to heaven.🙏🏻🙏🏻 and this is the main reason Catholic marriage is a sacrament bc the only way to continually die to self love and self interest is through the supernatural grace conferred upon the husband and wife as they minister the sacrament of Matrimony to each other. Without this supernatural grace, it is humanly impossible to live out marriage in the way God called us to.
The Catholic denomination is made up of ancient traditions, mainly Paganism and Rabbinical mysticism. The Catholic denomination does really align with the Bible.
I am so happy for your wedding God bless you sacred union ❤
Love, love your post. I would like to add to the teaching inside a Church. This is based on dioceses and must be on consecrated land. Some churches are located with outdoor chapels and have consecrated land with altar where a wedding is allowed.
We have an outdoor chapel next to our Church. These are very specific and is not something very common. With that being said, you still have to have permission from both Dioceses and churches if this is not your local parish.
Love your evangelization, Congratulations!
God bless you and your husband and your future family 😊
Thanks for doing this, very brave of you to give witness like this in this day and age where this precious and ancient institution is less and less appreciated by the younger generation. A suggestion perhaps, it would probably be more helpful to emphasize more - which you did - "why a Catholic wedding does what it does," more than "why Catholic wedding does NOT or one CANNOT." But, you did a great job! Congratulations and enjoy the journey! God bless.
CONGRATULATIONS
Actually that rule is changing now.
“The Archdiocese of Montana and the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Maryland, have recently ruled that a priest or deacon can now officiate a wedding in "another suitable place."
over 50 couples have requested priests to marry them in venues like hotels and museums, and nearly a third of them have been for outdoor locales. Some other dioceses allow it on a case-by-case basis, but generally don't promote the policy. Barr added that priests can also request to marry a couple in a non-church wedding, as long as one is a confirmed Catholic and resides in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. They also have to go through the Church's marriage preparation.”
This is such sad news and another example of the church compromising w the spirit of the age. 😔
Congrats and please keep your RUclips show going I think you could be on EWTN too
May the saints in heaven, may the Protective Arch Angels pray for you both in a very deep specific way!! Much blessings until your cups are full!!! Gods will be too!
Before I converted to Catholicism, I was married in an Anglican Church - everything you state here was exactly the same for Anglicans (with the exception of marriage not technically being a sacrament but a holy and sacred ceremony).
Most protestant evangelicals treat marriage as a sacrament, but they do not call it a sacrament
I’m a practicing traditional Catholic and in my parish between getting engaged and married it was three months. Our priest allowed it and along with the marriage prep we met with our priest 0 times it was all with the deacon and even that was just planning the marriage nothing theological or teaching us the actual view of what marriage is in our beautiful faith. It was incredibly disappointing looking back since my husband and I both had a reversion before marriage. It’s sad that marriage is a vocation along with holy orders but it’s not treated in the same manner in a lot of more moderate softer parishes. It takes priest years to become one but marriage is also life long but it’s not treated that way at least not in our home parish where we live. This town is known to run through priest 😢 it’s quite sad. Thankfully we’ve had wonderful priest who come to offer masses that are very devout from other towns! GOD BLESS YOU! we have been leaning towards the tlm
i"m not married yet, but i wish i to get married in church.
Anyone have tips to make the non-Catholic partner more comfortable? I know if I marry my partner his church will bully and exclude him if we don’t get married in the Catholic Church. He is comfortable there, and I won’t be the reason they subject him to micro aggressions and small rejections such as not being able to take communion, or not recognizing the marriage as valid. I’m so uncomfortable with the rigidity, legalism, and rituals. I just want to get through the wedding without crying or having a panic attack. Please don’t tell me to just do what I want for the reception. The ceremony is actually what I used to look forward to. I know at this point I’m the least important person involved in my wedding, but any tips? Even just breathing tips or how not to have an anxiety attack? I’m a Christian fyi, and do also recognize that Catholics can be Christians, otherwise I wouldn’t date one lol
❤💕
Amazing videos! May God bless your marriage,your couple, your families, His Church and give you plenty plenty little Catholic loving Jesus children, healthy and blessed 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
i love youuu

You are actually allowed to get a dispensation to get married outside of a Catholic Church but I believe it has to be from a bishop
I hope i married a man who is same mindset in me..(church wedding)i am a C.U.T.E catholic...
We didn't do that. We got married in the courthouse and right after that we got married in the Catholic Church . The reason we did that INS Wanted to send my wife back to the Philippines . So after we got married in the Courthouse we'll quit we got married in the Catholic Church.. After that we get all the paperwork for the INS Now my wife is a American citizen
in my country catholic can have their wedding anywhere with a catholic priest.
You make plans and God Laughs. A child is on the way before the year 😅
Just wondering do catholics consider a marriage valid If it was a protestant wedding and the two aren't catholic?
When two Protestants are married it is a legit marriage. The only thing missing is the priestly blessing. But yes you are married in our eyes.
Yes it is a valid civil marriage! It just isn’t a sacramental marriage.
@@kathleenodonnell8355 GOD says what is holy MATRIMONY. Not a priest. They don't have control over who is holy and not..
Amen glory to GOd! by marry for ever!
Hi
I did all my confessions Before getting married Is start going to mass Taking the holy Communion.
What if you can't have children ? Do they have still require that?
No, it's only asked that we accept any children given to us.
Non-live music is cringe. You need a way to shorten the song naturally.
We don’t strive to shorten the song bc the music within a Catholic mass is very much part of our tradition in worshiping God and giving him praise.
@@kathleenodonnell8355 organists shorten and lengthen the music at Mass all the time, especially at weddings. That’s one of the things a trained organists learns to do so well that most people don’t notice it. I’ve sung at so many Catholic weddings and Masses.
What branch of Christianity were you before you converted to Catholicism?
Can a Catholic marry a person from another religion if they dont want to convert?
They can- my parents did. However, there is one catch some spouses will not be open to: both of you have to say that the children will be raised Catholic, like the vow in the center of the video.
It is highly not recommended. You would only be able to say the vows no blessing or Mass. Plus it could only be a small wedding. It cause confusion to any future children. I had an ex-friend who has a Catholic mom but atheist dad and it confuses her. So yes don't do that. Marry a Catholic unless the he/she converts.
*One of my parents is a practicing and devoted Catholic while the other is a non-practicing Protestant-agnostic. They didn’t care what brand of Christian I was raised as.
The difference is about 2 hours
You know, it seems like losing you and I'm not even your parent.
I think you meant that Christ was present substantially not physically in the eucharist . Isn't that Catholic teaching ?
According to Catholic teaching, Jesus Christ is present-body, blood, soul & divinity.
@@MelaniesManicures Sure but substantially but not physically
@@aajaifenn nope he is there physically as there as well search it up.
@@carolinpurayidom4570 Christ's presence in the eucharist is not in his accidents ( physicality ) but is present in his substance . Christ's beard or limbs are not present in the eucharist . However to add some nuance ....when one recieves the eucharist personally by the principle of concomitance we eat his accidents too.
Yes.
Me and my wife got married in the courthouse. Then we got married in the Baptist. After that I came back to the Is catholic church We got married in the Catholic Church ? the cafe wedding count if you got married somewhere else .
I think you put the state before God
Hello from Germany. Sadly the rules here are very softened up 🙄 you can play any music during the ceremony, you can walk down the isle at most any music you want 🫤 I would love our priests to be more determined about that point.
easy left half drinking, right half looking disapproving, but wishing they could have some fun too
Lizzy once again uses the word "Protestant" as if all those who are classed in this term as being the same. A Lutheran/Anglican liturgy is virtually identical with a Roman Catholic one. A Baptist wedding ceremony will be different from both.
Some of this is not really correct. PREP is only 6 weeks long. You can get married outside of the building (Church) I have been to beach weddings. The Eucherist is brought by the priest to the wedding. You can add to the vows. You can get remarried. 2 of my siblings are re-married. It happens. You can't get remarried in the church without an annulment. You only have to have 6 month notice in the Philadelphia Arch.
You have to have permission from a Bishop to get married outside of a church. Getting an annulment means that the Church judges that your marriage was not valid, so if you marry after an annulment, your not getting 'remarried' in the eyes of the Church.
@@isoldam If you got an annulment & then remarried in the Catholic Church. Your 2nd marriage is accepted in the church. The 1st one is voided. I was a religion teacher for many yrs. Sadly, it does go by who & what you know. $$$ also plays a part.
@@maritamcnichol8849 my husband had a annulment . Annulment is a statement that the marriage never existed so his previous “ marriage “ was NOT a marriage at all and “previous wife” was NOT a wife at first place . So no you CANNOT remarry . After annulment you marry for the first time .
@@anitaklara7428 semantics.

Protestant weddings generally don't reflect any type of seriousness or veneration to what marriage represents.
And how does a Catholic wedding represent the seriousness of marriage?
The Catholic Church teaches that a married couple is open to having children, so if you use abstinence during your fertile period to ensure that you never have children, then it would be wrong.
It's actually not
Actually not😅
"I was saying my vows in front of God and not in a metaphorical sense". So Catholics teach that God is only present in the Catholic church and God is not present omnisciently? In others words when you pray at home, you are only praying to God metaphorically because you're not in a Catholic cathedral and no Eucharist and been performed 🤔
There’s this old saying I know, there’s more fun at a Catholic funeral than a Protestant wedding
Hi Lizzie. I still don't understand why you stopped being a first century Christian and started being a third century Christian. I also don't understand how you can believe what you believe in light of Galatians 2. I'd also like to get your idea of what Matt 5:19 says to Gentile Christians today. I also wish you listened more to your father. He was right to say that not all church fathers believed in transubstantiation.
As a cradle Catholic, I got married in the Catholic Church by my cousin whose a priest 40 years ago. He studied in Rome and was even able to get a papal blessing for me and my wife by Pope John Paul II, who I actually got to meet when he came to my home town as a cardinal back in 1969. Unfortunately, over the past few years, I feel that the Church has left me because of their turn further to the right here in the United States as well as their support for Donald Trump. It boggles my mind that so many people in the Church, particularly among the Church Militant crowd as well as Dr Taylor Marshall could find it in their hearts to support such an immoral human being as Trump, as well as their seeming hatred for our current more moderate Pope Francis. Because of all this, my wife and I no longer feel comfortable or even wanted the Church. I personally see things getting even worse should Pope Francis resigns due to ill health or passes way. The next pope I believe will be an extremist on the right instead of someone more moderate. This will only lead to more people like my wife and myself leaving the Church for good.
David, as Peter responded, where would we go? This is the one, true, holy, Catholic and apostolic church that Jesus founded. If I may encourage you to participate in Father Mike Schmitz’s Catechism In a Year Program to learn everything about the church’s teachings. Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and a host of preceding presidents have been gravely immoral. We have a Catholic president who ambitiously promotes abortion, homosexual marriage and transgender ideology which are gravely against the teachings of the Church bc they are so harmful to the life of the individual made in the image and likeness of God. I pray rather than leaving, you spend this time of discernment in study of the WHY Holy Mother Church teaches what she does. It is based on the authority of Jesus Christ who can never deceive nor be deceived. Rather than look for liberal or conservative priests, popes, teachings etc., ask The Holy Spirit to lead you to all truth. He absolutely will and you will never again contemplate leaving the fullness of truth, the sacraments and Eucharist ever again. Entrust your worries to Our Lady and she will bring you to THE TRUTH, her most glorious son truly present body, blood, soul and divinity in the Catholic Church. Peace my beloved brother .
@@kathleenodonnell8355 As someone who does not support Biden, I do however find him an honorable man. If you are thinking that Biden being pro-choice makes him immoral, let me make this clear. Being pro choice does not make one be pro abortion. I know far too many people who claim to be pro life, but they are the furthest thing from being pro life. For instance is it being pro-life that they care about the unborn fetus, but after the baby is born, they do not care about the growth, development and health of a child. Is it also being pro life when one supports the death penalty? I say no. There have been numerous cases where people have been but to death, and somewhere down the road have actually be found innocent of the crime that they have been put to death. I happen to be pro-life, but I strongly support a woman getting an abortion if the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest or the life of the mother would be in jeopardy such as an ectopic pregnancy. I am even for abortion when it is know that the baby would not survive the birth or not live for very much longer after the birth. Having a Jewish mother, I can tell you that the God that is in the Old Testament is very different from the one in the New Testament. The God in the Old Testament is a very spiteful and vengeful God, very different from the loving caring Christ in the New Testament. You also only heard of homosexuality in the Old Testament. Not once did Jesus talk about homosexuality. Even though I am a straight male, I do believe that homosexuals should be afforded the same rights as everyone else including when it comes to marriage. After all God did create them to be gay. It has been proven without a shadow of a doubt that homosexuality is an inborn and not a learned trait. Therefore, why should these people be denied to love and should they desire to marry the one they love. I know a couple of lesbian who are married and from what I have seen of them, their marriages are more in line with the teachings of Christ than some marriages between a man and woman that I know.
I feel your pain with the far right crowd. It’s tough to go to a Church and feel like you don’t fit in. But, I can assure you that no matter the spiritual fads of the day, the teaching of the Catholic Church is neither right nor left and it will always stay that way. I’ll pray for you. I know it’s hard living in the current political climate. You know, one thing that comforted me was looking at the variety of people that Jesus called. One of his apostles was a far right zealot (Simon) who would have surely done something like the riot on Jan 6 before he found Christ. Paul was a Pharisee who was caught up in the tiniest minutiae of Jewish life, much like many of the radical traditionalists within our own Church, before Christ revealed himself to him. So I figure if if God can use the right in Jesus’ day, he can do the same now. We are all his children and he loves us very much, despite our disagreements.
Brother, this is the church that the Lord built, where shall we go? We are all sinners and need to continue our call to be Christ’s body
Thank God I'm relying on Jesus to get me to heaven instead of my spouse.
Catholic Church is the only one Holy Church, nothing else. Only priest have authority and they are blessed by God. Jesus Christ is the founder of The Catholic Church, only one true church in this world. Historically and Biblically, Catholic Church is everything♥️💕🙏
