Hello WW! I am hesitant to post at all, after having been drug through the dirt after posting in another forum about this. However, I need helpful advice and not attacks of criticism.
I am due to be wed end of September. He is Catholic, in the sense that he occasionally goes to Mass. I am a Buddhist (nonreligious).
Now it has come time to pick our readings/songs/etc. for the wedding. It will not be a full Mass, since I am not Catholic, but apparently is still considered Catholic. (Yet the priest says it won't count for his sacrament of marriage... so I don't know how that works.)
I really wanted to have contemporary readings (other than the Gospel of course) for the ceremony. The priest originally made me feel comfortable about the wedding being able to be tailored so I can feel comfortable during the ceremony.. however he then handed us a book with things to choose from.
Has anybody else been successful in using cont. readings in a "Catholic" ceremony?
Thanks in advance!
