Ceremony

We actually had no choice because it is scheduled at 3pm and there is not enough time for a full mass.

A 40 minute mass...since we're practicing Catholics we wanted to celebrate our marriage with a full mass.

Ceremony (about 30min) because my FI, his family, and half of my family is not Catholic.

Full Mass - the deacon said it's only like 15 -20 minutes more than the ceremony. Plus, most of my family and his are catholic.

We did a ceremony since my DH and his family are not Catholic. at first I wanted a mass but I wanted everyone to be comfortable and I didn't want to receive communion w/o DH. It was about 35-40 minutes.

I am definitely doing a full mass... My fiance's grandfather was a decon at the church where our wedding is and I also cantor at my church. So it is important to us to have full mass

Re: Catholic Brides: Ceremony or Full Mass?

full mass. My FH and myself are practicing catholics. I wouldn't feel right if we didn't celebrate a mass in honor of our wedding. It will be the first thing we do as a married couple. It is totally up to the individuals though.

Full Mass. Intially we weren't going to do it but it is the most important part of the wedding!! It will be nice. Also the priest really encourages it so we didn't want to CROSS THE LINE with him.

Re: Catholic Brides: Ceremony or Full Mass?

Ceremony because FH and his family aren't Catholic.

Re: Catholic Brides: Ceremony or Full Mass?

Full mass- I want everything about the day to last as long as possible--and this is the really getting married part so it was important to me--FH didnt care either way.
