Communion during ceremony?

I’m having a catholic ceremony but FH isn’t catholic so we’re not doing communion. I’ve also felt unprepared to take communion and stayed seated during mass. It’s fine.

If someone feels uncomfortable because they have different beliefs and feel singled out for not participating that’s their issue. I’m a people pleaser to a fault but after a certain point you have to draw a line and not absorb other people's anxieties.

If you’re religious, which I’m assuming you are, it’s important to wed in front of God the way you are called to. It’s wonderful that there’s a variety of religions and beliefs and we live in a place and time where we can peacefully witness our loved one's diverse weddings. Your guests will know what to do. And many pastors are aware that people with differing beliefs and/or people who haven’t been to church for a long time will be present. They’ll guide people. It’ll be fine.

I have been to one wedding where they did this and it was super awkward. Not all guests will be eligible to take communion in your church and at the wedding I attended it seemed as most guests just took it anyway.

We are doing this as well. Mine and FH' s family are Christian and so is 98% of the guest list. We'll just be doing a small communion, 5 minutes or less. This is mainly for us because it's very meaningful and intimate to us, however anyone who would like to participate can do so.

I've been to a couple of weddings where communion was offered. If it's important for you, go for it, but it does add a lot of time to the ceremony. I was raised Catholic, so I received communion. I don't know how non-Catholic guests feel about it. I don't know if it makes them feel uncomfortable to just sit there when everyone goes up, or if they get annoyed by the additional time it takes when they don't participate in the belief. Those are some things to consider. It's definitely not unheard of, but it's not my favorite thing for a wedding.

I've been to full mass catholic ceremonies, but the guests never did the communion, only the couple, and those ceremonies were 1 hour 30 minutes long. I guess it would be like any mass the guests can either go up and take communion, or go up with their arms crossed over themselves and receive a blessing, or stay seated.
