Scapular Question

[Student09]

So we are only supposed to dress modestly in church?

My daughter isn’t Catholic.

Thats fine, but if she is getting married in a Catholic Church then she must follow the Church’s guidlines which would necessitate the wearing of a shawl with a strapless gown.

If you are really going to wear a shawl over your dress the whole time (pinned, I presume, since shawls can easily fall off) then there is no reason to worry about the scapular. You can wear the scapular with the dress and it will be under the shawl, so no one will see it.

I still think it’s really strange that anyone would require you to not wear sleeves. Are you certain your shawl won’t break the dress code?

Shin, Jeanne, and Dorothy, thank you for your replies, they are helpful! It’s especially good to take those moments as reminders to lift up one’s heart.
(Another solution showed up by accident, when I put the scapulars on backwards with a medal in back instead of in front, whose weight seems to be keeping it all balanced.)

Yes it’s a juggling act! Sometimes the medals help, sometimes there’s overweight!

Nope, probably either a Methodist church or at a chapel in Gatlinburg.
