Messenger from wedding cycled round front of church (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nuncio

'messenger' is the definition.
(ambassador or messenger for the Catholic Church)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for nuncio that I've seen before include "Pope's ambassador" , "Vatican delegate" , "Sent by the Pope" , "Papal envoy" , "Papal messenger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
