Do you have an outline of the ceremony and what it includes? I haven't had a chance to meet with my priest yet to define the whole thing and want to get started on my programs.

Re: Catholics out there NOT having a full mass
In my search on the web, I found this great planner for masses and non-mass ceremonies.

Re: Catholics out there NOT having a full mass
I'm just having the ceremony, but have chosen to do Holy Communion to please the more religious guests. I believe the only difference for us is that there will be no consecration. Here is my draft of the order for the ceremony...
Prelude Processional Opening Prayer Old Testament Reading Psalm New Testament Reading Alleluia Gospel Reading [Homily] Not sure on this. I have to check with Deacon Rite of Marriage - Exchange of Vows Blessing and Exchange of Rings Lighting of Unity Candles Communion Prayers of the Faithful Pronouncement of Marriage Presentation of the couple Recessional

Re: Catholics out there NOT having a full mass
I would actually like to know this too. Maybe you/me should ask it on the Newleywed board to see how they did it?
I dont have the book in front of me but I think we are doing:
Prelude Processional Opening Prayer Old Testament Reading Psalm New Testament Reading Rite of Marriage - Exchange of Vows Blessing and Exchange of Rings Pronouncement of Marriage Presentation of the couple Recessional

Re: Catholics out there NOT having a full mass
when we went to pre cana they had booklets specifically for Catholics not having a full mass. . . I'll look through the booklet tonight to see what the order is - basically it's the same as a mass without the communion, i think.

Re: Catholics out there NOT having a full mass
Ok - this is from Together for Life (special edition for marriage outside mass)
by Joseph M. Champlin - published by ave maria press www.avemariapress.com
We were given this at pre-cana, so I'm guessing it's official.
The order:
Entrance procession Opening prayer Old Testament reading Responsorial psalm New Testament Reading Allelulia Verse (before the Gospel) Gospel Wedding Vows Blessing of Rings Prayer of the Couple (optional) Prayer of the Faithful Nuptial Blessing Final Blessing
You can add a candle lighting if you wish. The Prayer of the couple is an opportunity for the couple to deliver a brief and personally composed prayer.
