Say "I do" and get it over with. Everybody should get their kids to start crying after 1/2 an hour to protest. Ours was 20 minutes and that was because our officiant made us pad it.

Note, if the recent CSFMB wedding was over an hour it was fine.

Frank's clocked in at about 58 minutes. Mine was about the same. Both were full Catholic masses, though.

I was just talking about this with my daughter. (getting married next year) I keep telling her just to have the "I do's" and skip the Mass. Her fiance wants the whole Catholic Mass to not disappoint his "gramps".
I'm sure you guys can guess my reply to gramps!

Our wedding was the same place as the reception, people loved it.

With all due respect, if people hated it, you probably wouldnt know about it.

Whenever people say, "We did ___ and people loved it" I think, how do you know?

We had a dry wedding, and everyone LOVED it.

You're another one that says everyone loved your wedding. Im sure they did. Just sayin, you probably wouldnt know if they hated it.

I was so proud ours was 31 minutes. It still felt long.


Some day people will realize that weddings are a big pain for everybody, and that they should make the day as relaxing and enjoyable for the guests as possible.

It took me 20 minutes just to walk down the aisle of Westminster abbey.

I don't think I ever said everyone loved it. I just said that we cut out most of the bullshit that normally bring a reception/party to a screeching halt. People still could have hated it, who knows.

Short of the Catholic mass, this was something we tried to do for the reception...complete with setting up the bags set on the patio.

Nothing more annoying than this. I went to a catholic wedding once and they had a full mass and the ceremony lasted close to 2 hours. No excuse for that if you are planning a wedding.

There's a good chance a good portion of your guests aren't practicing the same religion as you so do the right thing and limit the religious stuff to the minimum. Do the mass on your own time. A wedding ceremony shouldn't be longer than a half hour tops and even that's pushing it.

Mine was less than a half hour and we cut out several religious parts as a courtesy to our guests.

Just be glad you are going to weddings in a language you know. Foreign language weddings with a mass are the second worst thing in the world behind a chas and Baby McCown thread.

Did a full mass along with all the associated rituals and clocked that sucker in at just over 90 minutes, complete with foreign languages. Deal with it.

Culturally, we encourage pre-mass drinking so I don't think anyone cared…and they loved not caring.

Sitting through weddings like that as a kid is what made me what I am today. Deal with that.

This sounds like a show that my GF watches where 3 or 4 ladies rate each others' weddings and whomever gets the best grade gets a free trip or something....I forget the name of it, I watched it one time.

I kind of enjoy the whole ceremonial ritual involved in a wedding. I look at the mass as covering my obligation for the week even though that is not true. The rituals at the dinner are the pain in the ass. I really don't care about speeches from the overserved, an overchoreographed entry by the wedding party or any first dances.

This is by far the worst thing about most weddings we attend.

Every over served ass hole feels the need to grab the mic and go on and on. Those stupid little dances you stole off you tube...keep em.

Our daughter was married in June and my speech was 45 seconds. The best man went on and on but he is a special ops guy so I couldn't say anything.

Our wedding will be in the 15 minute range. The reception will start about 30 minutes later.

That's good. I always worry somebody is going to pass out at a Catholic Mass Wedding. Say "I Do",then get a move on!

Last wedding I went to, a girl in the wedding party passed out right before they were to say "I do". That was only a 30 minute dealio.

We're not doing the Catholic Mass. Did that already and didn't want to fight the Church for an annulment.

Catholic mass weddings are usually the same length of the regular mass. Communion takes less time, the 2nd reading is typically skipped. Homilies tend to be shorter. There are a few things that take up that time. Lighting of the wedding candle, visitation to the Virgin Mary, etc...

Both my wife and I had been married before. Although we're both Catholic neither of us had a Catholic wedding ceremony. My wife's brother is a priest and he boycotted her first wedding because it wasn't in the church. When we were getting married we decided to have a small ceremony at the same venue where the reception was held. This bastard boycotted again even going so far as to e-mail her about how she keeps making the same mistakes. What an asshole. This guy is the world's worst priest. If your God calls on you to hurt your sister's feelings, you have a shitty God. And I could even respect him if it was some kind of Catholic doctrine, but it isn't. Priests attend weddings of different faiths for the friends all the time. This is some personal douchebaggery of the world's nastiest priest. In my family that would be a raging fight with everything on the table. In hers, it's all this passive-aggressive bullshit where everyone knows he's an asswipe but nobody will tell him. My wife has been snubbing him at family functions ever since. I think I'm the only one who noticed. :lol: He's so fucking self-absorbed, he sure doesn't notice himself.

Also, I once attended a wedding where the bride's father died on the dance floor during the reception. That one was over quickly.
