From the opening procession, to the Liturgy of the Word with its Scripture readings of God's love, to the exchange of the marriage vows and rings, to the ancient nuptial blessing pronounced by the priest, the Catholic Nuptial Liturgy is rich in beauty and meaning.
Of all your wedding preparations, this is the most important, for it is in the liturgy that your sacramental life together really begins.

At least one reading that explicitly speaks of marriage must be chosen as the first reading, Responsorial Psalm, second reading, or Gospel reading. These readings are designated by an asterisk (*).
The music for your wedding can be both a source of great beauty and a strong unifying force to draw your guests together in prayer and celebration. Your wedding music must fit into the liturgical guidelines of the church.
In general, the music for your wedding should resemble the music selected for a Sunday Mass. All music selections must be sacred, in keeping with the sanctity of the sacrament.
