We request that guests refrain from taking photos. We have hired a professional photographer and videographer to capture the special day so we can all enjoy ourselves! After the ceremony, please feel free to take all of the photos you would want.
Question
What should I expect at a Catholic Wedding?
Answer
We’ll be having a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony celebrated during a full Mass. The service will last about an hour and will include readings, prayers, a homily (a short reflection from the priest), and the exchange of vows. If you’re not Catholic, or if you’re Catholic but not currently in a state of grace, we kindly ask that you refrain from receiving Holy Communion. Instead, you’re welcome to remain seated or come forward with your arms crossed over your chest to receive a blessing from the priest. There’s no expectation to participate in any part of the service if you’re unfamiliar—your presence alone means so much to us. Thank you for being part of this day!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
