You probably only show up for christmas and easter anyway... In your defense though, the pastor of that church sounds like a jerk.

I'm getting married in the church in June. Those are definitely rules specific to the priest and church in which you were at. The only Catholic-wide changes made recently are in the wording of the three questions the priest asks the marrying couple.
Some churches have different requirements. One church we considered said the flower girl must be 4 years old. My niece is 3, so we picked another one...

Won't be long before the Pope does away with marriage

She's getting married at 24. Most likely you'll be giving her away more than once.

This is the only thing I agree with that gets out of hand. Your 6-year old baby sister/cousin does not need to be in the wedding party.

Can I get 4.5 minutes with her?

Instead, the Vatican approved an instruction that hews more closely to that of the Latin original, which allows for the procession to happen “in the customary manner.” It’s a broad phrase that, as Father Menke noted, “leaves a lot of leeway for more local practices.” In effect, that means the typical wedding opening — with the priest standing in the sanctuary while the bride is escorted down the aisle by her father, who often then “gives” her to the groom waiting at the altar — will likely remain a common practice.

All of those are lies except the limited number in the bridal party.
Just had a Catholic wedding. We could do everything on that list except the unity candle because I wasn't catholic

-No longer will there be unity candles
I agree with this. Unity candles are stupid and tricky, a dumb tradition.
-Fathers may no longer give the bride away
The fathers still can walk the daughters down the aisle, right? Again, I think it is somewhat of an outdated tradition for a father to give away his daughter. It is implied by him walking her down the aisle.
-Music must be a live singer that works at the church
Probably limits the singer who is Catholic - since it is a Catholic mass and all.
-Limited number in wedding party
Finally. No wedding should have more than 6 in each party.
All wedding party must be over 6 years of age
This has always been the rule.
no longer can give flowers during service to the Moms
This one is odd. Might be a parish-specific rule. Not sure why this would be an issue to the Catholic church.
Only one photographer during ceremony
Once again, this is a great thing. Having more than one near the altar is a distraction. Again, this is a mass, not a concert.

People shouldn't link marriage and their church anyway.
I agree but the Catholic church won't "recognize" the marriage unless they perform it UNTIL you need a past one annulled and then suddenly they see it as valid and need money to forget about it.

Those rules are set by the parish not the pope.
I have been to five catholic weddings in the last sixteen months.
Most had the candles, father giving away the bride, no live singer at any of them, no restrictions on ages, multiple photographers.
Try a different parish.

Not reading the whole thread, but that is individual church rules...I'd bet a lot of money on that. I know when I got married different churches had different rules. Why would the pope give a shite if you have a live singer that works at the church or if there are multiple photographers. Don't fall for that being a Catholic rule. Many churches in NOLA for instance make money off of weddings and do have these sort of rules to keep the ceremonies "their way".
You can say that "for profit" ceremony through the church is shady, but the reality is, people are going there as a semi-destination wedding. They are using the church for the pretty back drop in a party town. So I am not bothered by the church using them in turn. And I am not the biggest fan of the church as someone raised Catholic, but doesn't practice anymore. So I'm not trying to take up for the church out of bias.

I'm not reading 4 pages, but those are rules of your parish/diocese, not the Church.

Um...that's bs. I just got married in a catholic church last summer and did all of those things (although our canter was from another parish)

Just because you go to a screwy church doesn't mean all church weddings are like that.
My SIL, no pics, is getting married in May. She is "breaking" every last one of those rules.

the priest said I may walk her halfway down the aisle, then I have to go to my seat. I cannot lift her veil, kiss her, or shake the grooms hand. AND, if I decide to walk her halfway down the aisle, the grooms father must walk him halfway as well. he can no longer wait in the front of the church. Otherwise they can walk by themselves or together. I'll be damned, I raised this kid for 24 years, I'm going to give her away like its always been.
Why would you wait at the front of the church? Are people that lazy?
Also, just do it anyway. What are they going to do? Stop the wedding? No.
