There may be times when that promise you made is the only thing keeping you in the game. That’s when you have to buckle up, Buttercup, and remember the words you spoke before God, your family and friends, and one another. And there will probably be moments, or even long stretches when you could find yourself having less than mushy feelings for your spouse. It’s extremely hard work, existential personal struggle, and sometimes serious conflict. Because, while marriage is wonderful in so many ways life-giving, sanctifying and growth-inspiring, it’s not all chocolate and roses. (that won’t happen in a Catholic Church…)Īnd taking that commitment that you enter freely and with your whole self into seriously is crucial. An Impressive Clergyman says “Man and wife” without you giving consent? Not legit. What makes it sacramental is God’s presence, offering grace to two individuals who are freely and perfectly committed to giving themselves wholly to one another for the rest of their natural lives. In fact, the couple are the actual do-ers of the sacrament-the priest or deacon is an official witness for the Church. You have to know what you’re saying, and say it with intention and in freedom. It has to be an act of free will-both parties deliberately, lovingly (Catholic Canon Law actually says that love must be present), carefully and joyfully entering into the covenant. No one can be tricked, coerced, bullied or guilted into a marriage. Why all the hoops? Because, like Buttercup, people need to know what they’re getting themselves into when they get married. If you were married in a Catholic Church you were probably subjected to a whole lot of questioning, paperwork, meetings, Pre-Cana sessions and maybe a year’s worth of waiting. I didn't want to - it all happened so fast.īuttercup: But it did I was there this old man said 'man and wife.'īuttercup: Um, no.we sort of skipped that part. Westley: What hideous sin have you committed lately?īuttercup: I got married. Thankfully, Buttercup has Westley to put it in perspective.īuttercup : Oh, Wesley, will you ever forgive me? But, poor Buttercup was so distraught that she lost sight of this fact. It’s hilarious.Įverybody knows and I’m sure Prince Humperdink would have remembered if he wasn’t so rushed, that his marriage to Buttercup was not valid.

When the wedding scene came on, however, I began to pay attention. It was playing in the background while I was working, and while I wasn’t paying 100% attention to it, it didn’t stop me from saying the lines along with the movie.

I have the movie on DVD-I could watch it any time I want-without commercials. No matter what else is happening in my life, if I’m flipping channels and I come across The Princess Bride, that’s as far as I’m going.

The Princess Bride was on TV the other night.
