Question

I've never been to a Catholic Wedding before. What happens?

Answer

Marriage is a sacred sacrament within the Catholic faith. To put it simply, we sing hymns, proclaim scripture, hear a homily (sermon), and receive the Eucharist (Holy Communion). The wedding vows take place immediately after the homily! Afraid you'll be confused? Programs will be distributed that allows you to participate in our wedding celebration.

Question

Is the ceremony really an hour and a half?

Answer

Yes! Catholics believe that Jesus raised marriage to be a sacrament (like Baptism), and therefore, we believe that our weddings are sanctified in a full Catholic Mass. The service will be as long as a typical Sunday service.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Wear your Sunday best or dressy casual. Additionally, since the ceremony is being held in a place of worship, we ask that guests wear modest attire. Feel free to wear your cowboy boots to the reception!

Question

What time should I arrive at the church for the wedding?

Answer

We recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes before the wedding ceremony begins. The church and its sanctuary are stunning, and we encourage you to take in all of the details. We promise you will not be bored.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both the wedding ceremony and reception will take place indoors.
