| I am Catholic, my fiance is Baptist. We have chosen to get married in my church. We are making a few modifications, not having Communion so that the non-Catholics don't feel left out. My priest is open to having his pastor basically do anything in service except adminstering the actual wedding vows from giving the wedding blessing to giving the actual homily. I want to include my fiance's pastor, who has been his pastor for 15 years and will be there as a guest. I don't feel like having him say the homily is a good idea, it almost seems like he would be usurping the whole ceremony from the priest, but leaving him with just the blessing seems like only giving the pastor a small bit. I have never been to a Baptist ceremony and neither has my fiance, are there anything else aside from the blessing to ask his pastor to do, short of having him give the homily? Thanks! |

| Introduce them (the priests) and let them work it out. If this was going to be hard the hard part would have been convincing them to work together at all. This kind of thing is not uncommon - they'll be able to figure out something equitable in a few minutes. |

| How has your fiance never been to Baptist ceremony if she is Baptist? I am glad to see the Catholics and Baptists getting along!! I suggest "The Christian Wedding Planner" by R Kent Hughes, who wa the pastor of my non-denominational church for 25 years,. You may have to go to a library to find it since I think it is out of print. It was very helpful for me in planning my ceremony and also has all the denominations order of service and various wordings for things along with the planning itself and reception. Congratulations of your wedding! I hope God will bless both of you and strengthen your marriage. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
