In Richmond, Virginia, 29-year-old Bernadette Snyder has taken a vow of perpetual virginity. Details of the ritual below, including the obligatory quote from Jerry Maguire 3:16--
Wearing a white sundress and big pink earrings, Snyder knelt in May as Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo laid hands on hers in the rite of Consecration to a Life of Virginity of Women Living in the World.
He also slipped onto her ring finger a gold band--a symbol of her spousal relationship with Jesus Christ.
"He completes me," Snyder said. "I don't even know if marriage is the proper term; I feel like he's my husband."
