A Wedding Mass typically lasts about an hour or so. That might seem lengthy to some, but the exchange of vows and rings is embedded into the regular weekly Mass that includes readings, prayer, worship, and communion.
What to expect from a Catholic Mass and how to follow along
The Order of the Mass is in one of the song books in your pew that you may use to follow along if desired.
All are more than invited to participate in singing, kneeling, and praying portions of the Mass. Catholic or non-Catholic, there is joy to be had in a start marriage dedicated to loving God and loving others.
What to do during Communion as a Non-Catholic
During Communion, you may choose to receive a blessing by walking forward with your arms crossed on your chest or you can remain at your seat. Either way, this is a time for reflection, solitude, and recollection.

Will there be alcohol
There are no dumb questions, except this one.
