    Hopefully short. Our officiant knows we want it to be very simple and short. Hopefully no more than 15 minutes.

    Short, as we don't want to spend too much time in that kind of formal set up.

    Longer than average, probably around 40 minutes; we’re going to have singing and whatnot. The ceremony is the most important part to us, and we have lots we want to include

    Longer. Our faith is important to us so we're having a full ceremony with hymns...I'm guessing it will be about 40 - 45 minutes.

    I'm having a Catholic wedding, but since my fiance isn't Catholic, we're doing just the ceremony. This shouldn't be longer than 40 minutes.

    It'll probably be pretty short. The ceremony location doesn't have any seating so I don't want my guests getting uncomfortable.

    Long! We had two readings, personal vows, traditional vows, and a handfasting, as well as a short sermon by our officiant. The good news is that it was funny as well as touching, so everyone was entertained.

    A shorter Catholic ceremony, no communion. Hoping for 30 minutes at most!
