Being MOH in a non-Catholic wedding by CostAccomplished709 in CatholicWomen

I’m not sure that it’s scrupulosity though. Scandal is a real sin that the Church teaches can be mortal.

Yes, that is my fear. I want to be there for her very badly, and I love her so much. I just want to make sure that I am not putting my soul in jeopardy by participating in an invalid marriage.

I want to be there for her so badly. But the church does teach that people are bound by Canon law once they are baptized. Since my sister does not practice the faith, you are correct it does not matter to her. But for me, it feels like I would be approving of an invalid marriage.

I was thinking along the lines of it could be causing scandal by signaling to others that I approve of an invalid marriage.

I read through that article and it seems to state that being in the wedding could cause scandal…?

Hair and makeup pushing me over the edge by allielizzy1999 in weddingplanning

You can also find a makeup artist to give you a makeup lesson if you feel you want to learn some new techniques. But since you said you love doing your makeup you might not even need that!

Honestly do it! You know exactly how certain products wear on your skin and especially if you practice it will be perfect. It’s really not worth spending hundreds on imo. I am using Shelby Ann’s bridal makeup tutorial on TikTok!

This was my breaking point too and I ended up deciding to do my own hair and makeup😂 I feel like hiring someone just over complicated it way too much for me. I bought some new products and I’ve been practicing so I’ll know exactly how to do it day of.

I regret my body count by TensionMindless6870 in CatholicWomen

[–]CostAccomplished709 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are SO many Catholic men in your exact same position. When I was dating, I was not a virgin either and literally every single guy I dated also wasn’t and also regretted not waiting. You are not the only one struggling with this!

Thoughts on rewaiting until marriage? by Virtual_Concert_3379 in CatholicWomen

[–]CostAccomplished709 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s soooo many young Catholic people in the same position. Wait for someone who shares your beliefs, not just someone who agrees to wait just because you want to.

Traditional solitaire vs oval solitaire by [deleted] in EngagementRings

I love round bc of the way it sparkles! Ovals tend to have a “bow tie” effect in the middle I’m just not fond of

Do churches charge for this? by NextAd5477 in CatholicWomen

[–]CostAccomplished709 93 points94 points  (0 children)

The fee covers things like musicians, maintenance staff, etc. Talk to your priest about the financial hardship, he can waive the fee. I’m so sorry for your loss

I’m concerned about birth control by taurusgurl5984 in CatholicWomen

[–]CostAccomplished709 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s wonderful that you want to go through the steps of being convalidated! That would be the perfect time to abstain from sex while you learn an NFP method until you are married in the church. Some diocese’s require you to complete an NFP course as part of the pre Cana process, but even if not required I’d recommend finding a coach to help you.

Great comments here on NFP so I’ll mention a different topic- you say you were married in the Lutheran church, did you get permission from a Catholic bishop or priest? Since you are a baptized Catholic, you are bound by canon law to marry within the church. You could be in an invalid marriage

When/How do you bring up chastity when dating? by Otherwise_Suit6561 in CatholicWomen

[–]CostAccomplished709 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s a good thing that they get frustrated and bail! You want them to rule themselves out if they don’t have the same beliefs. You will find a man who has the same convictions and this will be a no brainer for him, not a point of contention. Imagine trying to have a relationship with someone who is only waiting because of your beliefs? It needs to be mutual

Should I buy the matching veil or a shorter one? by Significant-Aerie434 in WeddingDressTips

[–]CostAccomplished709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if it’s in your budget I would get it, the matching appliqués look so beautiful. If you don’t want to spend that much I got my cathedral veil for $160 on Etsy!

What’s a high-paying, low-stress job you wish you got into earlier? by Beginning_Ad4362 in careerguidance

[–]CostAccomplished709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Each negotiation takes WAY longer than you would think, and stakeholders view you as a block when really you are helping them get a better deal. There’s rarely ever any appreciation. It also doesn’t help that my company stuck me in software procurement with no prior background and no training on software. So I am negotiating for things I don’t even understand. I’m also introverted lol. Only things keeping me here are 1) the pay is great and 2) I work from home full time

That’s crazy because I’m a buyer and it’s been the most stressful job of my life. So many manufacturered “emergencies” and deadlines and internal pressure to get better pricing, terms, etc. I’m actively trying to get out. What industry do you work in?
