Question about ceremony...

Ok, so we have our Pastor..but heres my question.

Who determines what gets said during the ceremony...the bride and groom or the Pastor? how do you come up with a reading?

If this is a Catholic ceremony, everything is scripted. There's no 'planning' involved in the sense of scriptures and other things. It's a traditional Catholic ceremony, there are certain rituals done. If you have a Christian Ceremony, depending on your minister, then you may have a say. I planned my entire ceremony since I'm no longer Catholic and FH is not baptized and we didn't want a Catholic ceremony.

I am Christian...we meet up with our Pastor this weekend but that topic didnt come up. We actually have to meet with him about 3 more times..so I guess I can talk to him then.

This isn't fully true, although the basics of the ceremony are the same, you can choose which ever saying from the Old or New Testament, and responsorial psalm etc you want... its not like every single ceremony are exactly the same.

Believe me there is 'planning' involved because I am doing it right now. Its just how much you actaully want to do, you can just do what they have listed out for you, or you are allowed to pick your own. We did a combo of both.

Good luck!
