Re: For catholic brides....ceremony programs

PLease note that below is the liturgically correct order of the Nuptial Mass. My priest told me it was the most accurate and best wedding program he has seen.

Please note that the Presentation of the Blessed Mother is optional or can also be done after the Unity Candle. The unity candle is also optional. Check with your priest if you want to do either of these 'traditions' as they are not a real part of a Mass.

Also, I also included the translation of the songs Ubi Caritas and Salve Regina on my original program...They were two pieces that were sung in Latin at the Mass and whose meaning was so special that I wanted to include the translations. Clearly, this is optional if you have songs in another language.

Anything in quotes (' ') were the titles of the songs/instrumental pieces.

PLease FM or post again if you have any further questions.
