Catholic Mass- Communion or not

My first marriage, I was in the same boat as your fiancee. We compromised (I didn't want to get married in the catholic church), we did, but without communion.

I'm Catholic, born and raised, but FI is Protestant. Because my family is very religious, we're getting married in the church but just a ceremony, not the full mass. So no communion for us. My uncle (the priest who will be performing the ceremony) prefers to do a full mass, but understands when one of the couple is not Catholic. My mom disagrees and is already pushing for a full mass.

Full mass (with communion)

FH is the only Catholic on his side of the family. I don't think he really cares what his family thinks LOL

There are plenty of non-Catholics on my side as well, but FH and I are so when in Rome. . .

Full mass here. I am born and raised Catholic FH and his family is not.

FH understands how important it is for me to have a the full aspect of the Catholic Mass. Since it's not a TON of people getting communion it won't last very long. FH is getting a blessing and if anyone from his side would like to have a blessing they will have the option.

Maybe suggest this to your FH?

I recently converted to Catholicism. ..so my family is not Catholic. My FH family is Catholic. We are having a nuptial Mass with communion.

I'm not Catholic but I've been to my share of Catholic weddings. I'm never offended or annoyed when communion is given but usually most people there are Catholic. I do think it would be weird & uncomfortable for your half to get up and his to all be seated.

We are having a full Mass at our wedding. From my understanding there is no way that you can NOT have communion with a mass. If his family is primarily not practicing then you can ask your priest to announce the proper way to come forward in the communion line just for a blessing.

My whole family is Catholic and probably none of FH's family including himself are. So we are doing the abridged version of the ceremony without the full mass, no communion. I didn't think it was fair for him and his family. I also didn't want to be up there for that long given my extreme nerves for that day. I want short and sweet.

Meh. Catholic ceremony is long enough.. I'm going for no communion.

Most Catholic weddings I've been to don't do communion. This is because they want to cut down the length of the ceremony and also because a lot of people attending the ceremony are not Catholic.

We will be getting married in a Catholic church, although we have not yet discussed the ceremony side of things with the church but if given the option we would probably choose no communion

I went to a wedding last summer where she was catholic and he was not. They did cut out a lot of the "catholic" things, but still left a few in. They did NOT take communion, which I think was a good decision for them.

It really just depends, is taking communion at the ceremony something that is important to you? He wouldn't be able to take it correct? If it were me, I probably wouldn't.

If your FH is not Catholic, it is suggested that you do the Catholic ceremony, not the Mass (Mass has Communion). If you are both Catholic, you could do the full Mass and have the priest invite those who are not Catholic to come forward for a blessing during Communion.
