Do you think the 'join their hands and hearts' is cheesy? My mom thought 'request the honour of your presence at the marriage of the children' was a bit boring. so i spiced it up a bit. opinions please. i need to order them asap. TIA!!!

I think it's fine....

Only thing I would add is if you are having a Mass you should state that.... as people need to know it will be about an hour. if it's just the ceremony, i think it's fine...
If it's a Mass I would take out 'exhange matrimonial vows' and put in something like 'receive the Sacrament of marriage at a Nuptial Mass at.... blah, blah church.'

I am a bit of traditionalist, so you might not like this for yourself, but if it was me, i would take out 'exhange matrimonial vows' and put in 'receive the Sacrament of Marriage'. Also, some people state on the invitation that it's a catholic church so it would be ' St. Bridgid's Roman Catholic Church.' Technically, i think that's how it's supposed to be, but I've seen people not do it too.
