Owen or Fr. John was online there was a thread about couples saying wedding vows at the back of church during mass. I guess the couple felt they met the requirements of saying wedding vows in the presence of a priest even though the priest wasn't aware of it. This would avoid requirements of a license and permission for minors but there would be no record of it. Was there a name for this type of wedding? Thank you. -- Richard Van Wasshnova
