My Fiancé is insistent that he wants communion at our episcopal wedding. I do not and have not from the beginning and I've been very open about that. There are several reasons why I don't want communion. One I feel like it makes the ceremony itself extremely long. Second, I don't like the idea of people coming up to the alter during our ceremony. Also, it adds several prayers throughout the service that I don't want included as I feel like it's all too much. It also makes the ending of the ceremony feel impersonal to me. I feel like I've already compromised quite a bit by agreeing to hold the wedding in the actual church and planning our reception as close to the church as possible so our guests don't have to travel around too far. The church offered for us to do communion at the rehearsal and I felt this was a good compromise but he is adimat that it is not the same. Have any other couples out there dealt with this? What was your compromise? Maybe if I could get someone else's prospective on why doing communion at the rehearsal wouldn't be a good compromise, that would help me understand more.
