REHEARSAL

Normally, all rehearsals are held the evening before the wedding.  You must call the Parish Office at 770-978-2500 to set your rehearsal time after you have set your wedding date and time with your priest or deacon. 

§               Rehearsal must start on time:  There may be two rehearsals on one evening.  Members of the wedding party should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled rehearsal time.  Please remind them of traffic delays on Highway 78 in Snellville on Friday evenings, and ask them to plan accordingly.

§              Rehearsal will proceed in a quiet, dignified manner:  Members of the wedding party should be reminded that they are in a holy place.  They should dress appropriately.  The use of alcohol/drugs before or during the rehearsal or before the wedding is absolutely prohibited.  Smoking is permitted only outdoors.

§               Parish Wedding Directors conduct rehearsals:  The priest or deacon do not attend rehearsals as a general rule.  It is recommended that ONLY the wedding party members attend the rehearsal.  The rehearsal will take approximately 45 minutes to an hour, with only one walk-through rehearsal.  Please inform your wedding directors of any special circumstances or arrangements you have discussed with the priest or deacon.  No changes in the ceremony can be approved at the last minute.
