Question

What should I expect at a Catholic wedding?

Answer

Lots of sitting and standing. Several priests. Some scripture, some music, etc. You can expect to be in the church for an hour. If you are not Catholic, you can either remain seated during communion or go up in the line with everyone else while crossing your arms over your chest. This means you'll receive a blessing rather than the eucharist.

Question

Is there a certain dress code?

Answer

There is no official dress code for this wedding. The bridesmaids will be wearing hunter green, but the bride will not mind if guests are wearing the same color. Just wear something you can dance in!
