Hello!
I'm wondering if there is a specific procedure on taking up the gifts. Specifically, when my family takes it up, is there a custom on the man carrying a certain portion over the woman. Ditto for which side each should stands on.
Our family took it up today and I had this terrible feeling that I had done something wrong. I have a TERRIBLE habit is unintentionally usurping my husbands position as head of the household. I don't think he or the usher who asked had any thought one way or the other, but I tend to over think/over plan everything and wanted to make sure no one dropped anything :).
Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Oh, and I normally am VERY orthodox/TLM, so if there is an older, accepted rubric that's no longer in use, I would still be interested in hearing about it.
Thanks!!
