At around 4:00p.m. we will be meeting at The Railyard Cafe & Taphouse for an early dinner, a speech or two, and some games.

Your presence on our special day is gift enough for us! Thus, we are not asking for any additional wedding gifts. If you would like to show your love, we will gratefully accept simple cards as keepsakes for the years to come.

Please wear your Sunday Best! Out of reverence for the sanctity of the Church, we kindly ask everyone to dress with modesty and thoughtfulness in mind. Also, we encourage women to consider wearing a veil, which is an ancient custom in the Catholic Church ("when in Rome!").

Feel free to keep on the same thing you wore to Mass or change into something a bit more comfortable that is semi-formal (if the heels are hurting too much or the tie is feeling too tight)!

The Mass is the most important part of the day. It is when we actually get married. What comes after is a celebration of that fact. You do not have to be Catholic to attend the Mass. Missalettes (little booklets) will be made available so that you can follow along with the Mass as it proceeds.

For those from Becky's side in Saskatchewan, we understand that the trip to Ontario can be a challenging and expensive one. That is why we are planning on having a celebratory get-together in the summer in Estevan! If you can't make it to the wedding, we hope to see you there!

Towards the end of the Mass, the priest will distribute Holy Communion. As will be noted in the Missalettes, only baptized Catholics in a state of grace should receive Communion at this time. If receiving, please kneel at the altar rail (or stand if physically unable to kneel) and receive directly on the tongue. If you are not receiving Communion, please remain in the pews, stepping aside briefly if necessary to allow others who are receiving Communion to walk by . In the Traditional Latin Mass, the priest does not offer blessings to those who come forward not intending to receive Communion.

Almost! The Nuptial Rite, which includes the part where we officially get married, will take place mostly in English. The Mass following the Nuptial Rite will be mostly in Latin, excepting the homily (sermon) in English. Missalettes will be available with Latin and English printed alongside each other to facilitate easier participation.

Not in the church, please! There is an old saying among Catholics that says: "Every time you clap in church, a kitten dies." The church should remain a place of solemn reverence at all times. Along that same vein, please try to refrain from chatting while inside the church before the ceremony begins. We invite everyone to partake in praying the rosary in the time leading up to the ceremony.

Before the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, the Traditional Latin Mass was the norm for worship in the Roman Catholic Church. It is the ancient, reverent, and venerable mass of the ages. Thousands of the Church's martyrs, saints, and holy men and women have been and are still spiritually fed by this Mass, which has a perennial place in the heart of the Church until the end of time. As such, we have a deep attachment to this form of the Mass and are extremely grateful that we can participate in it on our wedding day.
