Nuptial Mass at the Throne - Madison, Wisconsin

On January 2nd, I was blessed to be united in the Sacrament of Matrimony to my amazing wife. Not only that, but we were also doubly blessed by Bishop Robert Morlino of Madison being the celebrant at our Pontifical Nuptial Mass at the Throne, and witness our vows. I hope some of the pictures of the Nuptial Rite and Mass are edifying for readers! More of them can be found here. The music was as follows:Ordinary: Messa da Cappella a quattro voci, 1641 (Monteverdi)Propers: Deus Israel (Votive Mass Pro Sponsis)Procession: O God Beyond All Praising (Tʜᴀxᴛᴇᴅ, arranged by Richard Proulx)After Last Gospel: Alma Redemptoris Mater (sung by all)Recession: How Shall I Sing that Majesty (Cᴏᴇ Fᴇɴ, arranged by Michael Mills)Wedding procession withthe entrance of the bishopThe bishop receives our vows as the MC holds the ritual book.Nuptial blessing following the reception of vowsThe sacred ministers bowing for the confiteor during the prayersat the foot of the altarThe bishop, reading the introit and kyrie at the throneEpistle chanted by the SubdeaconThe bishop, being approached by the deacon, about to give him a blessing for the proclamation of the gospelThe gospel, chanted by the deaconHomily delivered by Fr.
