Gifts At Church

How many people normally bring up the gifts to the altar at a wedding mass? Does anyone know what the items are that are actually brought up? Thanks!

Sometimes it is water and wine and the host and I am sure the priest can put a challace (sorry for the spelling) there for someone to carry up.
ETA: Also they use a clothe that looks like a linen napkin during the mass to wipe the Challace maybe they can put that on a platter or a sliver dish for someone to carry up.
Speak with the priest I am sure he will come up with a few ideas for you.

We are having our godparents (which will make four). There is two Chalices (one for the priest and one for the congreation, the paten (2 of them, one will hold the host for the priest and the bowl will hold the host for the congreation).
