There is a great post over at my friend Fr. Finigan’s blog, The Hermeneutic of Continuity about lay people and their weddings and inviting priests… and concelebration.
Remember, I think concelebration should be safe, legal and rare.
Fr. Finigan seems to agree.

Most areas I know have such a priest shortage, concelebration is physically impossible. Are these priests who are family members? I find this odd and disconcerting, as well as a lack of humility on the part of the couple.
The article by Fr. Finigan is good and hopefully, helpful.
Readers might wish to read my article about occasions on which it is more proper for a priest to assist “in choir” rather than concelebrate: http://www.liturgysociety.org/JOURNAL/Volume10/10_2/kocik.pdf
Dear Father Kocik, thank you for posting the link to your article. I found it very informative and am guilty of having described “in choro” as “giant altar boy look” after my first encounter; I had since learned that altar boys were replacements for acolytes. Note also that I’m neither a reader nor EMHC as I don’t think women belong in the sanctuary.
