We're trying to book a date for next year, and are considering having our wedding on the Saturday of Easter weekend. Neither of us are Catholic, but we both have practicing Catholics in our families.
So, for all the practicing Catholics in the crowd, would you find it odd to attend a family member's wedding on Easter weekend? That would make the rehearsal on Good Friday (obviously we could offer a non-meat option, but I understand that many Catholics fast on Good Friday), and would mean people getting up early the morning after the wedding to attend Mass. I know that very strict Catholics generally wouldn't have a wedding during Lent, but I don't think any of our family members are THAT strict (though I think some of them will fast on Good Friday).
Also, we realize that having a wedding on Easter weekend could make finding an officiant more difficult, but since we aren't looking at having a church wedding, we are open to a non-religious officiant....
Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone else doing this?
