Church wedding questions

We are probably going to have 2 and 2 but haven't 100% decided yet...

Snap, thats exactly what we had - 3 hymns and 2 readings (one biblical and one not).

I would really recommend having a look on here and doing the ceremony planner, its pretty cool, albeit a little scary when you get the final plan but it will give you some help!

Thanks Moya thats what I did and where I got the idea about 4 hymns?! my vicar gave me the impression that it was 2 or 3 (at the most) maybe he doesnt like long services!!

Over the years, the most typical amount of hymns I have come across at the wedding is 3, followed by 2 and then 4 as the least common.

Naturally 4 hymns tend to get chosen for Catholic services with mass or the "higher" C of E services as these are both around an hour long.

HIya

We are having two readings, both from the old testament, and three hymns - after my entrance, the communion hymn & one after the signing if the register. (Catholica BTW, not sure if things differ for CoE) x

Catholic services generally tend to include a mass almost as standard, whereas Cof E tend to omit the mass element unless it is one of the "higher" ceremonies.....in which case the ceremonies are quite similar in many aspects.

We had 2 & 2. We had 1 biblical reading and 1 non biblical

yay! the vicar said its okay to have 3 readings so 3 readings and 3 hymns it is!
