Co-Officiated Ceremony

I am Catholic and my FH is Lutheran. We were talking about having a wedding co-officiated by my priest and his pastor. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Details, please!!

This is a very easy process. . . particularly if you are getting married in a church. I would meet with your priest. You would need to complete Pre-Cana and you would need to complete an inter-faith dispensation form... no big deal, your priest will help with this. . . . the pastor would be welcome to co-officiate the ceremony with the priest. However, you as the Catholic have to get married in your church for the marriage to be recognized as a Sacrament for you. if you get married outside a Catholic church, it is not considered a valid marriage Church-wise (i.e. not a Sacrament).

HTH. . . . your best bet is to meet with your priest and discuss the logisitics. . . .

Thanks for the info!

Have you ever been to a wedding ceremon that was co-officiated. I just wonder how it will work out. I don't want one to dominate the other.

I thaven't been to an inter-faither wedding where both were Christian, but different denominations, although I have ben to a few catholic-Jewish weddings. I think you'll be fine... since you're both Christian, it will be easy for them to share in the ceremony. I'ts much different if one of you was Jewish, for example since the traditions are so opposite. You could easily do this. . . .have one read the Gospel for example and the other do the vows. (The priest will probably have to do the vows since for you as the Catholic it will probably be in your church, so it will be the Catholic Rite of marriage, although there are probably some parts where the pastor could participate.) the pastor could also do the homily or opening and closing prayers.... If you are having a full Mass (not just ceremony) there is no way the pastor could do anything during the Liturgy of the Eucharist... as that is a strictly Catholic practice in terms of our belief of what happens during the consecration of the bread and wine.

HTH....
