    Hello! Has anyone come across the Sunday wedding question? We have a couple getting married this Sunday in the afternoon. From what I understand, it's been placed at this time because of military obligations. I understand that the readings are from Sunday, but what about the Propers? Would we use the Introit, Offertory, and Communion from the Sunday Propers or from the Nuptial Mass?

    GIRM 372.
    Ritual Masses are connected to the celebration of certain Sacraments or Sacramentals. They are prohibited on Sundays of Advent, Lent, and Easter, on Solemnities, on the days within the Octave of Easter, on the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day), on Ash Wednesday, and during Holy Week, and furthermore due regard is to be had for the norms set out in the ritual books or in the Masses themselves.

    There's nothing there to prohibit the use of a Ritual Mass on a Sunday in Ordinary Time.

    I don't have the Order of Matrimony on hand to check if there is anything to the contrary therein; I do recall a wedding celebrated on a Solemnity where one reading was permitted to be substituted from the options for a Nuptial Mass, and that was backed up by the rubrics when I second-guessed.

    We’re not in Ordinary Time. We’re still in Easter.
