I am going to be married January 9th. We moved up our wedding date after we found out we were pregnant. I am a Catholic but I have been bad at practicing and want to go back and do what’s right. I told my priest that my fiance and I were expecting and we wanted to move up our date and he was fine with it as we Engaged prior to this for a while and we’re not getting married because of pregnancy. However, just recently I miscarried. I haven’t told our priest because we are still devasted with the loss. Do you think he will have us change our date to later after I tell him?? I know I have to be honest but I really want us to marry still on the same date. Please advise - Thank you!
That’s good to know. We have told and invited my family already and have already prepared in many ways. He attends RCIA and I go with him to support him and also become a better Catholic. We have been trying our best but it is definitely a challenge.
I was six weeks along when we lost our baby, and am still healing from the loss. Thanks for the kind words.
I talked to my priest and confessed to him finally that we ended up losing our baby. He thanked me for having the courage to be honest with him and set our date should be fine. The only thing at this point that could hinder it is if our paperwork is not processed on time. My fiance is Morman ( non-practicing he is going to RCIA currently but still not baptized yet) and therefore does not having a Christian baptism, I am Eastern Rite Catholic and have of course been baptised. I think because of this we need a special dispensation. Our priest said it is unlikely they would disapprove but the paperwork can take a bit.
Hoping it gets in before our marriage date and is approved!!! Thank you to all of you with the kind words. I guess this is all in God’s hands now.
Aww I’m so sorry for your losses :’( I know some how God will make it better, I just won’t feel it yet. Really got my hopes up! Yeah I think most men feel sad about miscarriages but they know there are no right words to say, so they feel awkward to express their emotions on it. My fiance sobbed when I cried my heart out on his shoulder. I found comfort in naming my baby after the Angel of prayer ( Selaphiel) in the Eastern Rite there are more angels, not sure why. I thought by naming my baby that, God would hear my prayer in having a successful pregnancy next time around. Of course right now we are just preparing for the Sacrament. Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers! It means a lot. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as well. Sending my love
