Catholic Weddings
Personalization of Wedding Ceremonies
We will be pleased to assist you in personalizing your wedding ceremony. There are many ways in which this can be accomplished. Options for readings, both from the scriptures and other sources, which speak to marriage are permissible. Vows can be written by you or chosen from more traditional options. Ceremonies which speak to various ethnic groups such as the coin, rope and veil, hand fasting or jumping-the-broom ceremonies can also be accommodated. We have a Catholic/Orthodox ceremony that maintains the customs of both traditions. Unity candles, roses to parents, family blessings and other more traditional activities can be easily included. Discussing your wishes with your priest is the best way to assure that your day is special.
Nuptial Mass and Wedding Ceremonies
Your wedding ceremony will be very similar to that celebrated in the Roman jurisdiction since we share the same liturgical forms. The Wedding Mass is the preferred way of celebrating the sacrament. Because we are ecumenical, all people participating in the ceremony are invited to the altar for communion, regardless of religious affiliation. On a practical side, it only adds a minimal amount of time to the length of the ceremony. Wedding ceremonies can also be celebrated outside of the Mass.
