Double Wedding Hindu-Catholic

Try googling it, there are thousands of people who do mixed religion/cultural weddings. Normally I say programs are a waste of time but in your case I think it would be really nice to include a program that explains the traditions to people who may not understand what you're doing.

However, can you even find a Catholic church that will allow you to combine ceremonies/cultures? That might be a bit difficult, the Catholics are pretty damn strict on their traditions.

Talk to a priest... if your fiance is not baptized, you'll need permission from the local Bishop for the wedding. However, the Catholic liturgy can't be mixed with another service - it has a prescribed set of prayers and vows that have to be adhered to for it to be a valid Catholic wedding. I think usually what people do in this kind of circumstance is either have two weddings, or use one for the ceremony (usually the Catholic side as it's set in stone) and then incorporate the other into the reception.

I'm not sure about mixing it into one ceremony, but it can be done in one day. My friend did her Hindu ceremony outside of the hotel in the morning, served a buffet lunch, then bused everyone to the Catholic church for that ceremony, then did a full on reception with dinner. It was a long day, but probably the most expensive and amazing wedding I've been to.

I'm not even sure about that either I will talk my priest about it but honestly i don't know, I'm having a lot of confusion if I should have the Hindu ceremony first and have a break schedule on a program and after that have the catholic one and I don't know if I should wear two dresses or if it would be a good idea to remain with a saree for the catholic one instead of the white dress , I'm so confused I need some light haha

Think through which traditions from both religions you want to have in your ceremony. Once you have that list, I would talk to your priest and see if they are willing to incorporate the Hindu traditions.

I know this is an older post but was wondering what the OP ended up with? My fiance is Hindu and I'm not religious, but we are trying to plan the timing of our dual-ceremony single wedding day.
