In today's Ask Amy, a mother-of-the-bride isn't happy with plans for her daughter's wedding.
She said, “Steve wants a traditional Catholic wedding. His family also wants alcohol served.”Steve and his family do not attend Mass regularly.She said she has no preference, and always thought she would have an outdoor wedding.
If you had demonstrated the grace to stay silent during this pre-planning phase, and simply let the couple openly explore their ideas in their own way, they would learn on their own that a Catholic ceremony might not be possible for them, for a variety of reasons that would be explained by the priest.In my opinion, you owe your daughter and her fiance an apology for your reaction, and a promise that you will do your best to listen without interfering as they excitedly describe their plans.
At least, this is what the hospice nurse told me when I left the room briefly during my own vigil. I learned two minutes later that my loved-one had let go the moment I’d left. I don’t think anyone other than a teacher or the student getting that beautiful gift, realizes the impact of the gesture.
