[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's called the Catholic gap.

I didn't realize people got to adulthood unaware of this. The church needs to be open for Saturday evening services, so weddings have to be wrapped up early.

Having gone to catholic college, the gap is when we'd all go to get a few drinks. If you were in the wedding, you'd go take pictures in different places and have a snack. [/quote]

I am Catholic and went to a Catholic college and had a Catholic wedding mass. I have never had this experience. It has always been from the church right to the reception. I went to college in the DC area and had my wedding in my hometown in New York. [/quote]

So there were only afternoon receptions? Or the churches allowed evening ceremonies?

Saturday evening mass "counts" as the Sunday service, so most Catholic churches want all the Saturday weddings done by around 4-4:40 PM. First bride to book gets first choice of time slot, so if you're lucky, you have a 2:30/3 PM wedding with only an hour gap until cocktail hour at your reception venue. If that afternoon slot is taken, you're look at at noon ceremony and a larger gap.

I used to work for a wedding planner and am Catholic myself. [/quote]
