I have a question for all you Catholic brides out there who are getting married in a church. Are you having a full mass? Part of me doesn't want the full mass, because I don't want to have my guests sit through that. Plus I just want to get to the party ASAP! But I know my mother kind of wants me to have a full mass and everyone keeps telling me how lovely they are. It would only be 15 mins more.

We are having a full mass.
Not to be rude, but this is YOUR day, not your friends, your decision shouldn't be made b/c you don't want your friends to have to sit through it. JMHO

Re: Catholic Bride Question
I am just doing the ceremony. I have been to weddings that are full masses and I think it takes away from the ceremony. I also don't want my guests to have to sit there for a whole mass. But like everyone else said it is your day and you do what works best for you and FH. Good luck. Either choice will be a great one.

We're doing the full mass. I think its nice and it also gives us the opportunity to involve some important people in our ceremony. (doing the readings and presenting the gifts)

We're doing the full mass as well. Mostly because of my mom. She suggested it.

Re: Catholic Bride Question
Definitely a full mass! You only get married once!
It's also a great way to include more people to do readings and whatnot!!!

Re: Catholic Bride Question
we're having a full mass and i'm not happy about it.
FH's parents insisted on it. i never go to church and am kind of anti-catholic at this point, so i'm not looking forward to it

Re: Catholic Bride Question
I am having a full mass since we are both Catholic and FI's friend just became an ordained Priest last May. It is OUR day, no one else. If anyone has a problem with it, the open bar should take care of it at the reception anyway.

Re: Catholic Bride Question
I'm getting married on a Sunday and I dont think I can do a full mass. But I know a lot of people that have done a full mass. It's your day so do whatever is going to make you the happiest.

Re: Catholic Bride Question
We are doing a full mass. The priest said it was 1/2 hour longer. Go figure?
