Muslim guests at a catholic wedding?

My mum, sisters, brother in laws and their kids are Muslim and I am Christian, I shall be getting married soon and need to know something as I have searched crazy on Google and not much info has come up.



I need to know is it OK for my nieces and nephew to participate in the wedding as my Paige boy and my 2 flower girls?



As well as is it OK for my Muslim family members to be in the wedding ceremony in the church and at the reception are they aloud to dance and what music is not aloud and what are they aloud to do and not to do.



As I do want this day to as eventful and joyful for me as for them.

Muslim guests at a catholic wedding?
Your family will be most welcome. No restrictions. Enjoy.
Reply:Your mother and your sisters are Moslem, but you are Christian? I would assume that you have been able to come to terms with the religious differences between these cultures, but I wonder about your husband to be.



Worth having a chat with the priest I would say, but maybe you could all go to the Registrar's Office where religious differences can be avoided, and then either go to the church straight after, or do the church bit the following day as a separate event.



Many people do separate the secular bit and the churchy bit in order to avoid a lot of expense at the start of their life together.
Reply:Hi. Are you asking from the Muslim side of things or the Catholic side of things?



I am Catholic.....so here is what I know. YES, they can participate in the wedding. Why on earth not? There are no rules prohibiting Muslims from going into a Catholic Church and/or participating in your wedding.



Whether they want to dance at the reception is totally up to them!!
Reply:Well i'm catholic and i know that they will prob be allowed in the church. As for paige boy and bridesmade I'm not sure. The best thing is to ask the priest of the church you are going to wed in if its okay as its mainly diown to hinm but most likely there won't be any problems.
Reply:i dont think they should be resticted to do anything. they are taking part in your wedding. ok, so its not thier religion, but its hardly devil worshipping if they are participating in a ceremony, regardless of ther beliefs
Reply:hi

why dont you ask your mum and sisters to clarify what is allowed and not allowed concerning there faith then you wont be mislead in any way, hope you all have a nice time.
Reply:I think you should ask the priest and then ask your mom if she knows or can ask her sisters brother-in-law about the music and dancing thing.
Reply:Your family members should respect your religion and traditions. Good luck!!
Reply:sounds daft but have you tried to ask your family? I can't see any problem with them joining in the ceremony but as for after then they will probably have more idea than i would
Reply:These are questions that you should ask their Imam.

All Will be well....
Reply:you are blessed to be a member of such a spiritually diverse family!



unless they are very strict muslims I think the dancing and music should be fine



if they live in the United States I'm sure they have some familiarity with the traditions of a typical western Christian ceremony



otherwise I would go along with them to their place of worship and speak with a cleric or someone about how to adapt/incorporate things into your ceremony that would make it fine with them to participate



I doubt there would be much if anything at all that would need to be changed that they wouldn't already be a bit aware of



Muslims also hold Jesus Christ in highest regard as a beloved prophet of God - just not GOD IN HUMAN FORM as Christians do - the religions aren't that far off from each other really, in tenet
Reply:all i can say is that their ways are VERY different..
