Wedding traditions

A wedding that does not include a Mass can be approximately 20 minutes long and usually includes readings, A wedding that includes a full Mass can be slightly over an hour long in terms of length. Many couples will opt for a full Mass to have the opportunity to receive additional blessings during their wedding. The church will recognize a union that is performed in a church and by a priest without the full Mass. A Catholic wedding does not have to include a Mass as part of the wedding.

This outward position of the ring symbolizes that the person wearing the ring is reaching out for companionship. A man or woman who is not involved in a romantic relationship would wear the ring with the tips of the crown facing towards their wrist. In this position the ring is considered to be turned inward and symbolizes that the heart of the person wearing the ring is taken. An engaged or married woman or man would wear the ring with the tips of the crown facing towards their fingertips.

Yet another tradition involving the Claddagh ring relates to how it is worn. As these rings are meant to be passed down for generations, it is not considered proper to buy a Claddagh ring for yourself. Tradition holds that Claddagh rings be passed down from mother to daughter. The Claddagh ring is a traditional ring that looks like two hands holding a heart that is adorned with a crown.

The Claddagh ring has a special meaning in a traditional Irish wedding.
