Question

What is a Catholic Nuptial Mass?

Answer

A Catholic Mass is a two thousand year old traditional service (usually attended weekly by practicing Catholics) involving readings from the Bible, a sermon from the Priest, and the receiving of the Eucharist. Our wedding ceremony includes a Catholic Mass, so you can expect a longer service (plan for around an hour) as well as a more reverent atmosphere. All are welcome to participate and don't worry, we will have handouts to explain everything at the church. You are always welcome to ask your neighbor if you're lost.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged ceremony" during the mass as it is a sacrament of the Catholic church. The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say "I do". We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us and we promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like.
