You will probably have a wedding without mass. Usually this is suggested for couples like you because the non-Catholic party cannot receive Eucharist. So it would be about 30-40 minutes long.

Here's a good site with a breakdown of the ceremony:

Ditto Ring Pop.

Have you ever attended mass with your fi? If you have, the wedding will look very similar to the first part of it (prayers, readings, homily) followed by the marriage rites, prayers of the faithful and the recessional.

If you have not attended mass with your fi, I would suggest going occasionally to get a feel for the service, and because there will be family events at masses (other weddings, baptisms, etc.), so becoming comfortable will ultimately benefit you.

Ditto ring_pop.

You would probably not have a full nuptial mass. It will probably last about 30-40 minutes. Our full mass was about an hour and five minutes.

Hi! I was in your shoes not to long ago. H is Catholic and I am not. Our ceremony last about 45 minutes because we did not have a mass.

I have a page on my bio to help others in my boat plan - CLICK HERE. It is basically just info on how to plan your catholic ceremony without a mass. I felt totally lost and I was scared and didn't know who to ask. I hope it helps.
