I don't have anything to back this up... Written by Annalise (3/16/2011 3:25 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I have actually wondered why, penned by Kathleen Glancy

but I've always assumed it was customary for a bride to be married in her home parish. It's still much the same today (where I live anyway). The bride's parents are "officially" hosting, so the wedding is on their home turf, so to speak. :)
