Our Ceremony

The Church.

I can never remember a time that I imagined walking down the isle at my wedding with my dad that I did not imagine this taking place at in St. Peter's church. It feels like home, and where I want to bring our children back to be baptized and raised in. My sisters received their first Communion here and all 3 of the Bourne girls were confirmed here, there is no other place I could imagine exchanging vows with my best friend.

And the killer isle and gorgeous stained glass windows are just the icing on the cake.

The Ceremony

I had to think a little on whether or not we would have the full Catholic Mass for our wedding as my beloved is not a Catholic. I was born and raised in heavy Catholic faith, tradition and culture - yes culture, if your a Catholic you know what I mean- so in the end I knew I wanted our wedding to celebrate all of that as well. So we're are celebrating our wedding with a full mass, so know you have been warned my friends to not come with the expectation of a 20 min ceremony - cause we're doing it 'Catholic-style' and that's not how we roll.

Now I have to throw in here that when Barry and I were discussing this - which because he is the wonderful man that he is he constantly tells me 'whatever you want' - his only objection outside of refusing to wear his dress uniform (that is another argument for anther post ha!), was his concern that he would have to kneel for the majority of the wedding. Love this guy

So no, though there will be kneeling it won't be the whole time, I just informed him don't lock your knees when your standing and lets keep the 'celebratin' to a minimum until after the ceremony ;)
