Marriage blessing
We've been married over 6 months and are finally getting around to having our marriage blessed in the Catholic church this Saturday. It's literally going to be a 10 minute thing and it's really not a big deal to me. DH will wear a shirt and pants like he would for work, but I'm unsure as to what I should wear. I'm a bit more limited in clothing options these days which makes it even harder. I'm definitely not wearing white or anything like that. I'm actually thinking of wearing a black dress and colored tights, but is black inappropriate for a marriage type ceremony? I'm not hiding the pregnancy per se, but we didn't mention it to the priest so he wouldn't ask us if we were only getting the marriage blessed now so we can baptize the baby (which is why we're doing it) so black is really the easiest color to completely hide my belly.
Re: Marriage blessing
Lets see... when I was 15 I got chastised for wearing black to my confirmation so... I'm not big on black at churches, unless it's a funeral. LOL. On the other hand I think a nice black dress w/ colorful tights would be really cute, and like you said it's going to take all of 10 minutes.
I actually need to do the same thing, the problem is we don't belong to a church at all, so I don't know if that will be an additional hurdle.

We don't belong to a church either. DH's mom gave us the number for her parish priest and he's doing it as a favor with the stipulation that when we move in May, we will register with the new parish and become active members of the church. We'll see about the "active members" part.
That's good to know!
And really... that's one of the funny things about churches, it's not like they can "unbless" your marriage if you don't become active members.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
this! I say wear what you feel good in, but I've been yelled at for wearing black too- in HS as long as you bring some colored accesories I think yu will be fine
uh, and we still need to get our marriage blessed too, I'm hoping the infant doesn't scream " the jig is up" thankfully we have a preist that will baptize her already.

I say wear whatever you want and if the priest questions your belly just turn on the waterworks LOL 'No I'm not pregnant!! Wahhhhh!!'
Seriously though - I think an empire waist dress with a scarf and maybe a little cardigan or jacket will draw the eye up and away from your bump. Nice earrings will help too!
