Getting Married during Saturday Mass?

The priest at the church we are getting married at said we could get married at 1:00pm before Saturday mass or 5:30 after Saturday mass. He highly recommended the 5:30. He never mentioned doing it during mass.

View Quoted Comment Same here (though our option times were 1:30 and 6:30). I personally wouldn’t do a public mass. Despite the flak given on this site for having a gap, we are doing as minimal of a gap between the ceremony as we can but still having a gap. Our reception will then end earlier than most and we will have go to an after party spot, if we and the guests aren’t too tired .

I am not Catholic so we will be doing a catholic ceremony as opposed to a full catholic mass. That makes it a little easier to do a later service time.

View Quoted Comment Yeah because we are doing a full mass and the option in the evening was 6:30, we felt that was just too late. 5:30 I think would have worked better!

We are doing ours at 130p.m., which is as late as the church allowed so they could prepare for 4 p.m. mads
