After seeing the pictures in the post below here are some pictures to cleanse your palate. Te Deum laudamus! has some wonderful pictures of a wedding that took place using the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite at the Assumption Grotto in Detroit, Michigan.

The Curt Jester
Blessed Miguel Pro, S.J.
Known as "God's Jester" was a martyr for the faith and a man of wisdom, fun, tricks, poetry, song, and dance. Thus seemed an appropriate Patron Saint of this blog.

Erm, "Curt" that link doesn't seem to be working. Which is really bad because I have a tummy ache from the circus pictures you posted earlier. Please help! :)
Those are lovely photos, but I have a question. Why is the deacon/server holding up the priest's chasuble in one of the pictures? I assume that has some kind of significance, or is it just so that it doesn't get wrinkled or something?

Wow, those pictures are great, reminded me of how my parish was decorated for Christmas.
My roommate from college got married at a "Latin Mass", and we said it was done correctly, you get married and then have the big ole celebration aka the Mass.
Actually, you're not really married married until the marriage is consummated. (Which makes the marriage bed a kind of altar or sacramental, and explains why in the old days people often consummated the marriage at their new home _before_ taking a trip anywhere.)
Re: pallet
You mean "palate". A pallet's what you carry goods on, a cot, or a bed you make up on the floor. :)
Maureen:
That's not quite true.
A couple is married once they exchange their consent to be married.
Consummation is what renders the marriage indissoluble.
It is part of the rubrics of the TLM that the server or (at High Mass) the Deacon raises the hem of the Chasuble during the Elevation.
A well adorned Chasuble (substantial linen base, gold thread, jewels, etc) is quite a heavy garment and it is hard for the Priest to lift his arms as high as he need to at the elevation if they have to take the whole weight of the chasuble.
Therefore the Server (or Deacon) raises the hem to relieve some of that weight.
Whilst this is not necessary with modern polyester, plain chasubles, it is still required by the rubrics which assume the chasuble to be more fitting to such a Sacred occasion.
