Has anyone walked down the isle to ‘To Build A Home - Cinematic Orchestra’? I’ve always loved that song so much but don’t know if it’s too emotional?

Are we allowed to bring water for our guests?
Lisa, on January 27, 2024 at 8:46 PM

We are having a full Catholic mass during our ceremony which is typically an hour long. Should we provide water bottles for our guests and is that even allowed?
