proper etiquette for Californian to marry a Romanian Orthodox Nun ?
Submitted by uberladen on Mon, 2008-11-17 02:44
Please bear with me on this one, kind folk.
E knows i want her to marry me, & she loves me. However, how may I adequately resolve my goals with the monastery's goals to keep her, and her affection to me and devotion to her "calling"? I don't know if she has been tonsured fully, or what all the vows say, esp regarding penalties for being laicised later?
any advice or common sense, please, with gratitude.

I think you probably need to let her go. It's her choice, and you would have to change her mind to give up her calling and leave the monastery. Is she in Romania? At what monastery? Has her name been changed yet?
