What part of the wedding are you talking about or did they stand in front of the altar through the whole Nuptual Mass?

They sat in chairs off to the side of the altar, except they stood during parts of the Mass, and the in front facing the congregation during the actual wedding vows as I described.

That’s the form of every Catholic wedding I’ve ever been to except that the couple stand in front, facing each other, during the vows.

I believe the “back to the people” comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. And yes, unity in worship is a beautiful thing.

Many think that the Priest saying Mass with his back to the people was an insult, somehow disrespecting the people. This is a horizontal worship issue once again. When people begin to understand proper worship they can understand better that it is not a negative but a positive.
