CONDITION OF THE CELEBRATION OF MARRIAGE IN VIEW OF FORMING PARISH WEDDING COORDINATORS

b. On Lent: flowers are ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED. The prohibition of the flowers during Lent is part of the
disciple of fasting-the fasting of the eyes. During Lent, it is improper to replace flowers with plants.
3. Music
a. On Advent: the use of organ and other musical instruments should be done in a moderate manner.
b. On Lent: Musical instruments may be played only to give necessary support to singing. Couples must respect the special

weddings. There are also approved songs which may be used when the bride walks down the aisle.
g. Profane bridal march music and profane songs are prohibited.

table, ambo, and the chair of the celebrant. Decorating for the sake of pomp or display is prohibited.
5. Closing the doors before the entrance of the bride is strictly prohibited in as much as it is devoid of any spiritual
meaning related to marriage.

is not within the authority of the officiating priest, whether he serves in the Archdiocese or guest priest, to
permit personal vows.
7. Unity candle is not permitted in the Archdiocese. Unity is shown by the other symbols, most prominently
through the cord.
8. Photographers & Videographers:

compound.

b. Secondary Sponsors are limited only to those who are in need for the celebration. Unnecessary
multiplication is not permitted.
10. Liturgy of the Word: Readers must be well prepared to function in the mass. They must observe proper decorum
as readers of the word of God.

12. A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these
things is an abomination to the LORD your God.- Deuteronomy (22:5) :
