I am very close to this sister. This will be my second sister married in the SSPX church. (Not sure if that is the correct expression).
When she announced her engagement she told me that she did not expect me to come, but would like me to walk her down the aisle, as our father has died.

We are trying to get a novus ordor priest or deacon to witness the ceremony conducted by the SSPX priest. My married sister was offered this opportunity during her wedding and we did find a novus ordo priest, but her husband to be refused.

I think we are all accepting of the novus ordo catholics not attending the wedding, and attending the reception, but I was hoping we could attend the wedding ceremony.

Seek advice from a pastor currently in union with your, and the priest’s, bishop.

In the past I have. Some of them have never heard of SSPX.

Talk to a pastor. If he has not heard of it, ask if he could contact his diocese for further guidance about it, then discuss with you. If he will not do that (this is very doubtful), talk to another nearby pastor. If that is not successful, call the diocese chancellor office, ask to talk to a priest they recommend.
