My husband and I are having our marriage validated in our church in two weeks. I was wondering what the bride normally wears for this? It will just be us and our parents, small short and simple. Should I just wear normal church Sunday attire?
 
Wear any nice dress. Your husband could wear a jacket and tie, if he has one, to show respect for the sacrament. What is important is what is in your heart, not what you are wearing. Best wishes for a long and happy Christian marriage!
 
When I had my marriage convalidated, I wore a long white formal dress (not a wedding dress) and my veil from our first wedding. I also carried a fresh bouquet. My husband wore a suit and our son wore a little corsage on his shirt. We had a private ceremony in the Church and invited only close family. We had a party afterwards with wedding cake and champagne. You don’t need to do all of this, but I would encourage you to think of this as your real wedding, even though you are already civilly married. This is important b/c your vows need to be new vows in your minds in order for your marriage to be valid-- making it more like a wedding may help you to do this. Congratulations on your convalidation!
