Manila Archbishop Gaudencio
B. Cardinal Rosales called the attention of soon-to-wed couples
not to forget the solemnity of their marriage ceremony.
In an interview over Radio
Veritas (DZRV 846kHz) last June 1, 2009, Cardinal Rosales
noted that couples focus too much of their attention on the
wedding details such as invitations, programs ,among other
things, and their attention towards the solenmity of the ceremony
is lost. “Nababahala ako kasi ang sakramento ng kasal
[I am bothered because the sacrament of marriage] is being
robbed of its solemnity” said the Manila Archbishop
during his interview.
Cardinal Rosales reminded
couples, and wedding planners and coordinators, that weddings
are “not a production” and reminded soon-to-wed
couples of the value of the “mystery of the sacrament.”
Cardinal Rosales also stated
that more couples are now opting to have a civil wedding rather
than a church wedding because of the increasing cost involved
in holding the latter. The Cardinal hopes that wedding suppliers
address this issue in any way they could to preserve the sanctity
of marriage.
