Re: I am having The Hands reading. In what order are you all doing your ceremony?
We haven't done the order of our ceremony yet, but I have heard that it's done during the vow exchange or in conjunction with the final blessing. Since we're having a full catholic mass, I personally want to do it at the end as part of the final blessing so that it gets everyone's attention again after the communion portion. I think it's a nice end to the ceremony!

I am very confused about this. I spoke to the Reverend last night and this is what he wanted to do.

hmmm.. I can sort of understand why he wants to have the hands reading right before the vows & ring exchange. The words in the reading describe what you will mean to eachother as a family and since it focuses on the hand as being symbolic then it kind of leads up to the exchanging of rings. I hope that makes sense.

These are the hands that will work along side yours, as together you build your future. These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and that with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other. These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief wracks your mind These are the hands that will, countless times, wipe the tears from your eyes. Tears of sorrow and tears of joy. These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children. These are the hands that will help you hold your family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch ~author unknown.

our hand ceremony is going before our vows, so they are part of our vows...this is the way the pastor said she would do it.
