Planning

Step one; Make an appointment to speak to a Priest or a Deacon

This should be the first thing you do! Before the reception or other plans are made. You should call for an appointment at LEAST 6 months before you plan on your ceremony. There is an interview and some paperwork to fill out before a date can be set.

Gather the necessary documents

See the section on documents you may need, you probably don't need them before you meet with your consulting Priest or Deacon, but be Prepared! you will need to get some documents

Review and choose the readings you want

You should be meeting with your consulting Priest or Deacon a few weeks before the actual ceremony....take a look at the readings you may want

Discuss your Music Selections with the Music Minister

You will get a music form at your initial meeting, take a look at it.

Schedule your rehearsal

Call the rectory to schedule a rehearsal date. The rehearsal is not a time to socialize, it should take only a half an hour at the Church. You will discuss how to process in, and out, and where to stand. The marraige license will be signed by your witnesses. The rehearsal dinner, is on you! That's the time to socialize.
