    I do not know where in the ceremony the lighting of the unity candle or the dedication to the blessed mother should go. I am having a full mass ceremony. Please HELP!

    The unity candle is lit after the vows/exchange of rings.

     I'm doing the Blessed Mother Dedication after Communion - the choir is singing Ave Maria.

    I've been to many Catholic weddings and this is what I've seen.

    Rite of Marriage
    Declaration of Vows
    Blessing & Exchanging of Rings
    Lighting of the Unity Candle

    Then the gifts, communion, etc.

    After this:
    Blessed Mother Devotion
    Nuptial Blessing
    I now pronounce you...

    If you are both Catholic then your priest may suggest you skip the unity candle.  Otherwise, Alaud41's mass outline is spot on.  Take care!
