ceremony planning help

Hi, I'm trying to work out the details on our ceremony (readings, who we should ask to do the readings, are there other roles that are unfamiliar to me, etc), and I have a few questions. I'm not Catholic, FI is, so I'm a little unsure on how many "roles" their are in a Catholic  ceremony.

Many people on here have referenced websites that help with the basic questions I have. I know the cathedral will provide us a book with suggestions. But because of timing issues we're not having a meeting with the priest for another month or so and I'd like to ask our VIPs to do readings sooner then later. Do you have any links to suggest to help this novice catholic bride along?

PS I'm trying to learn about the Church along the way, due to personal reason FI and I both agree that I should not convert now, its not in my heart, but I am trying my best to understand and learn ....

    catholicweddinghelp.com is a very useful and helpful site

    They have ideas on the site for programs and planning your ceremony with and without mass. I would take a look at it. It will tell you how many people you need, etc.

    The websit referenced above should help, but just for reference, most Catholic weddings have readers for:
    1st Reading
    2nd Reading
    Prayers of the Faithful

    Depending on whether you have a cantor or not, you could also have someone read the responsorial psalm. This may depend on your parish.

    Hopefully the priest will give you a copy of Together for Life. You just pick your favorite of each option, rather than pulling everything together yourself. If he doesn't give you one, I'd recommend buying a copy. It really simplifies picking the ceremony, I think.
