Catholic ceremony (not a full mass) program help

aparada15

Hi ladies,

I am working on putting together our ceremony program for our wedding that is in 3 weeks (eeek!   ) . I have been receiving conflicting advice on what to include in the program. The ceremony will be held in a Catholic church, but we will not be doing a full mass. Have any of you been in this situation? What did you include in your program? What did you leave out? Any help is MUCH appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
