Haha, don't worry, I at least respect that the rites are quite different from each other. I'm Roman, and one of my best friends had a Byzantine wedding, and I certainly did get lost! I think the more similar two denominations may actually be, the more different they FEEL sometimes.... Though, last time I went to a Presbyterian service with my grandpap, I think I was even more lost-- about halfway through I thought, "So when is the actual SERVICE going to start?...oh. This is the service!"
My family back in time was also once Byzantine and switched to Roman I assume because of location, but no one ever went back to it. Of course, there was so much intermarrying between denominations in my family (hence why I have a Presbyterian grandfather-- and a non-practicing Presbyterian mother, at that) that I don't think anyone really noticed much....
Good luck-- may things go as smoothly as possible!
