Can a wedding Mass be offered for a deceased loved one?

[EmBee]

At most Sunday Masses our priest will say “this Mass is being offered for [insert name here].” Can we request that our wedding Mass be offered for my fiance’s late grandfather (passed away last summer just before we were engaged)?

The nuptial Mass is being offered for your marriage. If you don’t want a nuptial Mass offered for your marriage then you should be married in a nuptial liturgy outside of Mass. Your fiance’s grandfather (and all of your deceased family members) can be remembered in the Prayers of the Faithful. Here is a sample for how the petition can be worded:

For the deceased family members of [bride and groom] – especially for [groom’s name] grandfather, [name], who died just before [bride and groom] were engaged to be married – we pray to the Lord.
