IN THE MODERN NUPTIAL LITURGY, SHOULD THE VOWS BE AD ORIENTEM OR NOT? THAT IS THE QUESTION
AND JUST WHO SHOULD BE AD ORIENTEM? THE PRIEST OR THE COUPLE?
Rather than writing a long commentary, let these two photos speak thousands of words. Which ad orientem is to be preferred? To be or not to be, that is the question?

I've never cared for this.
A sacrament is being administered, face the direction from which it originates.
The priest intercessor needs to address the bride and groom elect, so, for him to face those he is addressing is appropriate.
