We are having a modified Catholic ceremony since our wedding will take place at a winery, but we are still including most of the traditional prayers. And most of our guests will be Hindu, so this could definitely be a recipe for confusion!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724896577355920828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-4636103581710602762010-04-08T09:26:15.520-04:002010-04-08T09:26:15.520-04:00I'm going to throw in my 2 cents as a non-cath...I'm going to throw in my 2 cents as a non-catholic who recently attended a catholic mass wedding.<br /><br />- Write out even the simplest of prayers. An example of this is the Lord's Prayer. It has a different ending for protestants and can cause confusion!<br /><br />- If you are planning on having a full mass, let guests know! Most weddings I have been to run about 20-40 minutes (if in a church)... the last catholic wedding I went to was 2 hours and included a literacy of saints! A note on the out of town welcome letter would have prepared me for a 2 hour service... (although, frankly, I don't think anything could prepare you for 2 hours)<br /><br />- Even if most of your guests are catholic, please include a note of customs for your non catholic guests. Things are a little different in a catholic church (as in, although I am confirmed and have had a baptism and communion, I am not allowed to participate in a catholic communion) and it makes them feel included<br /><br />That's all I can think of! I'm glad you found such a helpful site!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998209409220136371noreply@blogger.com
