nuptial mass
Catholic marriage liturgy
A nuptial mass is a Catholic wedding ceremony that includes the celebration of the Eucharist.
The couple receives communion together as part of their marriage rite, integrating the sacrament of matrimony with the central act of Catholic worship: They chose a nuptial mass rather than a simple ceremony.
