Question
Will the wedding be a Catholic Ceremony?
Answer
Yes! We are so excited to celebrate our marriage with both our Catholic and non-Catholic friends and family. Our wedding will be part of a full Catholic Mass and you can expect it to be about an hour long. Please look at this link below if you have more questions about what to expect at a Catholic Mass. We want all of our guests to be comfortable at our wedding! https://www.wikihow.com/Visit-a-Catholic-Mass A special note about communion: if you are not a baptized Catholic, you cannot receive communion. If you want a personal blessing during Communion, you can approach the priest with your right hand on your left shoulder and your left hand on your right shoulder to signify that you are not a baptized Catholic. Or you are welcome to stay in your seat during Communion. There is more info about this in the above link as well!
Question
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The wedding ceremony, venue, and after party will all be indoors in the air conditioning. The weather in June in the Appalachian Mountains is usually around 85F.
