Ceremony - Long or Short?

How long will your ceremony last? Are you planning on a longer service, or keeping things short and sweet?

Are you having a long or short wedding ceremony?

    Long Smiley sad it's a Catholic ceremony, so it will be just over an hour. I'm not keen on it, but there's really no getting around it.

    Short.

    We’re getting married in the Catholic Church (FH is Catholic) but I’m not Catholic so we aren’t permitted to have a mass.

    my inclination is that it will be no more than 20 minutes in length.

    I have seen ceremonies go both ways.

    Long is based on Cultural timing of what is taking place and whether more than 1 ceremony takes place if its interracial. I have attended many Indian weddings which take 1 hour generally and some weddings that have had 2 wedding ceremonies of Indian & Christian.

    Short for civil which we had and the time was only having a few steps considering 2 others were added part of my culture not long still 30 minutes in whole.
