Invite Marriage Prep Couple to our Wedding?

Hi all!  I have been reading posts on this board for a while, but this is my first post.  Let me quickly introduce myself: my FI and I will be married in the Catholic Church in November.  It will not be a full Mass, because my FI is not Catholic.  I have been playig piano in the church for nearly twelve years and it means a lot to me to have our ceremony take place in the church.

Now to our situation: Our Priest recommended that we do our marriage prep with a couple in our church.  We did not know the couple prior to the marriage prep but have enjoyed getting to know them.  Is it proper etiquette to invite the couple to the wedding?  Thanks in advance for  your help!

    We did end up inviting ours as we had met with them several times and gotten to know them very well!  Ironically, at my reception... they discovered that they've know my godparents for longer than I've been alive :)

    i think it's a nice gesture; after all, they'll have an important role in getting you to the altar. I don't think there's a hard fast rule though, etiquette wise.

    I would treat them like any other prospective guest and invite them if you're close and you want them there. We got really close with some of couples I went through RCIA with last year, so we're inviting them.

    We are planning to invite ours.  We have really enjoyed our time with them and they have been a key part in our marriage prep.

    Since like none of our friends go to our church, we also figure it doesn't hurt to have some more Catholics, that go to our actual church, there!  At least someone will have a clue of what is going on.  ;)
