Answer 1

Have you ever been to a Catholic Mass before?  A Catholic wedding ceremony is just a full Catholic mass (including the singing) with a wedding vows exchanged in the middle.

It will have a full homily, communion, and yes ... the hymns.

You should go to a Catholic Mass in the next few weeks to see what you're in for.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

NOOOO, they last forever!!! They are boring and long!!!!! I fell asleep at my uncles wedding!!!!!

Answer 3

I depends. If you are doing a full mass you can expect around 45 minutes to an hour.

Family enters (song)

Wedding party enters (song)

Bride enters (song)

Vows, blessings, communion, readings, maybe a song

Leave (song)

Communion is about 15 minutes.

If you are not already Catholic then you must be in order to get married in the Church.

Answer 4

You don't have to have a full mass, you can just have a wedding ceremony. Those are a lot shorter.However there will still be a reading and the priest will still give a sermon, You can omit the songs to if you desire to do so. All told you can probably cut the whole thing down to about 15 or so minutes.
