Both parents are hosting (not splitting) the cost, and I would like to have both parents names on the invites.

I also want to say something about the mass celebrating the marriage...not just the marriage of...

Does this sound too verbose? I was told it is the formal way to do it but it sounds so wordy. Any suggestions?
