Another one? ugh... I see such immense beauty and baroque nobility in it.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to serve Mass in the ordinary form.

I understand. However, if you change your mind, you could always put something like this (taken from the program of a wedding I served) in your wedding program:

"The Extraordinary Form of the Mass:
Also, known as the Latin Mass, the Extraordinary Form was chosen by the bride and groom to celebrate their union because of their affinity and appreciation for its delicate choreography, its historical and theological significance, and its beauty and language. They have participated in the mode of worship regularly on Sundays at [i]N.[/i] Catholic Church and it has been a key component in their relationship with God and each other. Now they wish to share the gifts of this expression of faith with their loved ones and friends. The Latin language might seem a significant barrier when first heard. However, the bride and groom has no intention to exclude or offend anyone, bur rather they with to invite everyone to witness and participate as best as possible in an occasion and ceremony so dear to them. This program and its translations have been provided to assist with this wish. The couple is certainly most grateful for everyone's understanding and willingness to pray along with them. The bride and groom also wish to express their gratitude to Pope Benedict XVI, Bishop [i]N.[/i] and Fr. [i]N.[/i] for the provisions that have made this special event possible"

It is a very beautiful piece, but it also has an erie quality to it. It could be associated with such things so much due to the way the secular society has used it as background music.

Me too.

This is interesting... it's giving me some ideas.

I found out I can use my March of the Siamese Children for the processional as long as it's not a recording But besides the wedding march I have no music picked... I am mostly waiting to find out what kind of musicians we'll have to choose the music.

From staring at it though, I'm seeing an optical illusion of my screen stretching

Toccata and Fugue in D minor flat and wide screen?

We have the Holy Ghost and a sacrificial altar. Close enough? I was thinking something else about vampires too but it seemed to be getting a bit disrespectful.

I myself am partial to Ephesians 5:22-33, the epistle at a nuptial Mass in the extraordinary form.

The 2nd reading won't be the over used 1 Corinth 13:4, but rather the theologically rich Revelations 19:1, 5-9a which beautifully announces the symbolism of our wedding to that of the heavenly wedding.
[/quote]

We really liked the passage in Revelations as well AND we like how Ephesians 5 honors the sacrament of Marriage by likening it to the relationship between Christ and his Church. Thus we settled on Ephesians 5:21-33 for the 2nd reading and we used Rev 19:7b,9a for the Alleluia antiphon: "For the wedding day of the Lamb has come, his bride has made herself read. Blessed are those who have been called to the wedding feast of the Lamb."

We used Genesis 2:18-25 for our first reading and as Ephesians 5:31 quotes Gen 2:24 we really felt it appropriate to have Ephesians follow Genesis.

For music I'm stuck between Panis Angelicus for communion and Adoro te Devote. I might go with the latter just becuase I love it. If I do a marian song it will probably be O Sanctissima, maybe Ave Maria but I think Ave Maria is over used and I don't know if Katie can hit the notes. O Sanctissima would be beautiful.

My wife and I did Louis deMontefort's true devotion to Mary in the weeks preceding our wedding and this really made Salve Regina even more beautiful of a post-Communion song. And I thought the Panis Angelicus was chillingly beautiful at our wedding.
