So…I should not have invited my college pastor (very instrumental in the faith development of my wife and me), nor my two former roommates (who happen to be priests) to our wedding? I can assure you, it did not make things unnecessarily difficult or expensive. On the contrary, having those three priests who played significant roles in our lives concelebrating with the parish priest were an incredible blessing on our wedding day and have continued to be a blessing to us for the past 26 years.

That’s good. Lincoln, Nebraska has a lot of priests and seminarians, or so I hear.

It doesn’t but there are all these complaints about priest shortages so forgive me for being concerned about how some will even get a wedding Mass at all, much less several priests to concelebrate them.

I seriously doubt that anyone getting married is not going to be able to find a priest in the US. the shortage is simply not that short. Further, your comment about what goes on in abbeys is totally and completely irrelevant to parishes, always has been, and always will be.

Depends on where you live, I guess. Getting one priest is generally all you can get here. Six months gets you a lot of time to find one and go through some pre-marriage instructions, which by the way, no one has bothered to bring up.

And I didn’t bring up what goes on in abbeys. But if you can get concelebration there for a wedding, why not?
 
Yes it is true there is a more severe shortage in some places than others.
I was a sacristan for a wedding where the groom had spent four years in the seminary. He had several of his classmates and good friends at the wedding. They all serve locally in the diocese. (I wouldn’t be surprised that someone he wanted there was witnessing a wedding at his own parish) But it isn’t like one of his young priest friends could just go across the country to do a wedding where there is a shortage of priests and come back in time for his own Parish’s Saturday 5 pm Mass.

Because the thread is entitled “Two priests concelebrating for a Catholic wedding Mass.”

Why would anyone bring up marriage classes?
