Question

What is the attire for the wedding and reception?

Answer

Gentlemen- Wear slacks (no shorts, please) and a button-down or dress shirt and tie. Sport coats and suits are also welcome. Ladies- for the Holy Mass Celebration Dresses and skirts should fall below the knee (no exposed backs or shoulders); the apostolic tradition of covering the head in church is encouraged, but not required. Note: You may notice that many women wear hats or veils. These head coverings are an ancient custom from the time of St. Paul to today (see 1 Cor 11:1-17). There are several devotional reasons for this tradition. For example, wearing a head covering is an expression of modesty and chastity in imitation of our Lady, who is rarely depicted without her veil. Furthermore, wearing a head covering also can indicate humility and submission before the Blessed Sacrament. Finally, head coverings promote respect for women and their distinct gifts. Like the chalice and the ciboria that are veiled, women are veiled because they are all vessels of life, supernatural and natural. If you would like to wear one, a box of spare veils will be available at the entrance of the church.
