    I am getting married in the church and trying to incorporate all of my closest friends and family in our wedding.  I was going to ask one of my best friends to read at the ceremony (we are not having a full mass), but she is not Catholic.  Does that matter?  I grew up going to Catholic school and they let whoever read at our school masses whether or not you were Catholic, but I was not sure whether or not a wedding mass was the same.  Thanks for all of your input!

    No, readers do not need to be Catholic.

    @Rx4love:  The technical answer is here:  http://www.nccbuscc.org/liturgy/q&a/mass/ncrd.shtml In practice, I've seen many non-Catholic readers during Mass and I've never heard of someone being denied or rejected for that during a wedding.

    I asked our priest the same question recently and he said they do not have to be Catholic. :)

    One of our readers wasn't Catholic, and they never even asked us if our readers were or weren't. :)
