Strict Church rules on Bridal Gown

Whoa emom...... here's a flower

Here's another one

Missy-read the thread.
All the other Catholic Churches allow strapless-its just this one that doesn't. They didn't see this small note , under lots of notes on Liturgy and music and rehearsal, until reading it well after dress purchased.

I guess I'm really missing something. What is the huge deal about complying with church rules? Pop on a bolero, or shawl, get married, and then toss the covering aside on the way to the reception.

I read the thread, trust me. But there were so many different opinions I got things mixed up. I was going by what happens in the Catholic Churches were I live - things like this are covered by the rules of the diocese so a bride couldn't get a different rule in a different church.

But no matter what, the bride in question knows the rule now, so she can go out and buy a coverup herself. End of problem.

I can't tell you the amount of times I've had to gather myself after seeing some bare shoulders.

I hate to see what happens if you see a little ankle

Mom2rtk I agree
When Mom if bride texted me her "solution", I later thought that it might not work- this this thread

I will update after wedding later this year

I'd be interested to see if she complies. Why don't they show the priest the pic you found & ask if it is acceptable?

It simply wouldn't be DIS friendly at all.

It's up to the priest. DD was married in a very old Catholic Church in Italy. The priest allowed a strapless gown with a fingertip length veil of lace, that covered her shoulders.
