Can you give non-Catholics "Too Much Information" about Catholicism?

[Tabby]

I don’t quite understand Michelle Arnold’s answer here:
Michelle Arnold:

A wedding is a solemn liturgy that is attended by family and friends – not as a “show” that they must understand in order that they may “enjoy” it, but as a public ceremony that they witness whether they understand and “enjoy” it or not. (Understanding then, though helpful, is strictly secondary to why family and friends are there, and accommodating understanding should not be allowed to inadvertently undermine the dignity of the ceremony.) … [It] may seem helpful but can border on Too Much Information (i.e., overwhelming guests with more information than they need or want) and could possibly make your wedding seem like an amateur theatrical production.

I think I understand the point made about not treating wedding programs like theater programs, but I don’t understand how explaining the distinctives of a Catholic wedding ceremony to non-Catholic guests could be “Too Much Information.” I think guests would appreciate being given information about what is going on during a ceremony they’ve been asked to witness. Could you please explain?

How do we best learn and retain information? Through being spoon-fed tidbits of data we did not ask for and may not want, or by being intrigued by something mysterious and researching on our own? If someone is incurious, then our efforts at explanation are wasted. If that person is curious, then he is more likely to want to search out information on his own and may find our explanations unsatisfying. (People often find conclusions they reach themselves after careful study to be far more satisfying than other people’s unsolicited explanations.)

Even from a strictly pragmatic viewpoint, guests are unlikely to have time to read a wedding program stuffed with information. They may glance at it while waiting for the ceremony to begin, but may well not have the time or inclination to filter the important information (e.g., Communion protocol) from the “helpful” details (explanations of Catholic wedding customs). You have the best chance of drawing their attention to what is important if you do not bury it among details that may be interesting but are not necessary to know to participate in the ceremony.
