Now that you have a general idea of some of the guidelines, it is time to get more specific. Use the form included in this packet to note your choices, and go over this with the Pastoral Assistant at your Liturgy Planning Meeting. The first choice you must make is whether to have the Rite of Marriage within Mass, or with just a Liturgy of the Word. As stated above, the first option is preferred. This is always chosen when both parties are Catholic. However, so that the Eucharist might not become a sign of division instead of unity, a second option is given when one of the two is not Catholic, though they can still choose to have the Rite within Mass.
