The Sacrament of Marriage can be celebrated at a time convenient to the couple and in accordance with the parish schedule. The date and time of the celebration must be scheduled only with a priest or deacon of the parish.  Since it is necessary for the couple to participate in marriage preparation prior to their wedding, the couple must contact a priest or deacon of the parish at least six months prior to their desired marriage.  The Saint Cecilia Parish Wedding Handbook, which is also available from the Parish Office, contains additional information and guidelines.  Also, please see Wedding Music Guidelines and Wedding Music Outline for guidance and assistance in choosing your wedding music.
