How to Plan a Catholic Wedding Ceremony
A couple's wedding day is one that they will remember forever and is one of the most important days in their lives. When you are planning any wedding, the most important thing you should do is plan one that will make this such a day. However, if you are planning a Catholic wedding, then there are other things that are important to plan as well.
- Pick the church you want to have your Catholic wedding in. Most couples who go to different churches simply choose one or the other. When you are having a Catholic wedding you can choose to have it during Mass. Though this is not a necessity, many Catholics opt to do so. However, no matter which you choose, for it to be a Catholic wedding it still needs to be in a Catholic church. A Catholic ceremony can not be anywhere else.
- Decide what priest you want to do your ceremony as well as what scripture they will read. More and more Catholic couples now write their own vows. This allows the vows to be much more personal.
- Select the music you want played during the ceremony. The music played during a wedding ceremony should be traditional Catholic music. You can normally ask the priest or someone who works at the church for a list of songs you can choose from.
- Choose the other aspects of your wedding such as the decorations the same way you would for any other wedding. Once you have everything you need to have planned to make it a Catholic wedding, make sure you personalize the wedding and make it one you can remember.
