Catholic and Lutheran wedding

My sister had a Catholic ceremony married a Baptist he just did not. A lot of people at church do not take communion.

Non-Catholics are never allowed to take communion at a Catholic church. Unfortunately, you're really going to have to choose between having a Mass at which he and his family can't fully participate, and not having a Mass.

Woah there calm down! They can participate, just not take communion. Our priest prefaced communion by telling everyone who was catholic to take communion if they wished and if they weren't they could come forward for a blessing. We put it in our program too as well as welcoming everyone to participate in the mass and ceremony, even if not catholic. Catholic bride website has some good info.

View Quoted Comment Yes. Or they can stay seated in a Catholic service that is pretty common. At least at the church’s i have been to.

Non-Catholics can still be made to feel welcome during a Mass.

During my father's funeral mass earlier this year, when it came time for Communion, the priest mentioned that non-Catholics should not receive, however they were welcome to come forward (actually, anyone - even Catholics not fully prepared for Communion)...with their arms crossed on their chest as they approached, and father would give them a blessing.

I thought that was a wonderful way for non-Catholics to feel included in all parts of the Mass. Perhaps your priest would consider doing the same.

My fiance and I were given the same choice (me: Catholic, him: not) I wanted to have the ceremony "within mass" but as I thought about it more I realized that there would be an obvious division once it came time for communion. None of his family is Catholic, and even though non-catholics have an option to go up and get a blessing, a lot of the times adults that weren't raised in the church can feel uncomfortable doing that and end up just staying seated. Marriage is supposed to be the uniting of both the families and I could see how it could end up looking divisive with just my family receiving communion and none of his.
I just wanted veryone to feel included and don't want him and his family feeling awkward/excluded from anything.

That's just my personal thought process when it came to this decision, but at the end of the day everyones experiences, feelings, and families are different. Communion or no communion, God will be present and happy two people are committing their lives to eachother

So I am not catholic but have been to many catholic weddings (dads side is catholic). Personally I always fell uncomfortable when they have the full service and to be honest it gets kinda long. However, I am more a proponent of the bride and groom should do what they feel is right for them! Though I may not like sitting through it, I do it becuase I love the couple and it is there wish. I have never been to one where only one of them is catholic so idk how that would look. I would talk to your FH and see how he feels about it!
