Answer
In order to allow all guests, including parents, an evening of relaxation, we have chosen for our wedding day to be an adult-only occasion. We can only accommodate children of immediate family, who have received an invitation addressed directly to them.
Question
How does a Catholic wedding work?
Answer
All guests are welcome at the Cathedral of St. Andrew, and we are excited to celebrate this next step in our lives and in our faith with you! A program will be provided so that guests can follow along with the Catholic wedding liturgy. Only practicing Catholics may receive the Eucharist during Communion, but we invite all guests to come forward and cross their arms over their chest if they would like to receive a blessing from our officiant, Father Len.
Question
What should we do after the wedding mass?
Answer
After the ceremony has concluded, please gather in the courtyard outside of the Cathedral to congratulate the newlyweds as they exit as husband and wife for the first time. Afterwards, feel free to return to your hotel to freshen up before the reception or check out the "Thing to Do" tab for activities in the Grand Rapids area.
