    I need advice! My FH is Catholic and I'm in the process of converting to Catholicism. My family is not Catholic and several of the guests on his side aren't Catholic either. The Catholics in attendance will be his family and almost no one else.
    FH wants to have communion. I don't feel comfortable having communion at the wedding, which is supposed to unite our families, when more than half the guests will not be invited to participate. I feel it will be devisive and I am uncomfortable "hosting a meal," so to speak, that my family and most guests cannot eat. FH points out that anyone who wants to participate but isn't Catholic could go forward and recieve a blessing from the Priest. I understand the process and do it when we go to Mass at his home church, but it is not the same.

    I don't know what to do. Please help!
