You all know this. Church's are Hospitals for sinners not country clubs for Saints. Happy no rejoice over these women getting to the church on time. Shame on you who are so perfect. I'm still a work in progress don't get it right too often. I am still working on my Christian walk.
I didn't say I was perfect. I do know if I was big belly, I'd not be prancing down the aisle in a white dress so big and proud.
We who are shaking our heads in disgust are not proud and don't imagine that we're perfect--not by a long shot. We're aware that we're sinners, and that sexual sin isn't even the worst of sins; pride, the sin of Lucifer, is the worst. But when I sin, I hope not to publicly boast about it, celebrate it, and expect others to ignore or tolerate it. Having a big fancy wedding when you're hugely pregnant is horrific taste at the least, and could be said to be really abominable. If these people have sinned, they should be ashamed, not boastful.
Forgiveness is available to all who repent, but mercy does not rob justice. If you commit sexual sin, there is a price to be paid before forgiveness is gained, and losing the privilege of receiving the Cahtolic sacrament of marriage would be part of that price.
"Cheap" grace is not part of the Christian equation, though many seem to think it is. In God's vocabulary, "I'm sorry" is a verb.
A church is a building with which we worship God, not a backdrop for a photo event.

Their behavior implies a lack of remorse and a lack of shame on their part. In other words, they are refusing their "medicine". I am ashamed of my sins. These women are obviously proud of theirs.
