Minister of the Mystery of Marriage(Crowning)

Catching up on blog reading, I found a timely entry had appeared *In the Light of the Law *(even if it does not directly address the questions at hand, it remains interesting): The NCRep’s “simple fact” about marriage is simply wrong

So Mr. John Cameron,

From what you linked, are you saying that the reason Eastern Catholics require the priest or bishop to bless their marriage to make it sacramental is simply because it would be invalid without the blessing (therefore not sacramental)?

On that same line of thought, the reason that non-Catholic but baptized couples who are validly marriage have a sacramental marriage and by default retain there sacramentality after converting into the Catholic faith, with or without a blessing, is because by their baptism, God bound the union (which reflect the indissoluble union between Christ and the Church)?

If you can clarify for me that would be wonderful to know. Thank you for your attention on this matter.
