Have Your Host and Save Time Too

Waiting for the host to arrive.

I often hear from couples who would like to celebrate communion but choose not to because they don't want a really long ceremony, especially if it's being held outside in the hot sun.  They also know that there will be attendees who are not used to a full mass, and they don't want those guests to feel uncomfortable.  The answer?  Do what this couple did! We served an abbreviated communion to the wedding party and closest family members immediately following the rehearsal!  It was a beautiful way to honor their faith, make the family happy and also be considerate of their guests who are not of the same belief system.  This one was done at Cottage Vineyard and Winery in Menomonie, Wisconsin.
