We're so pleased that you have chosen to marry in the Catholic Church and connect your marriage to a long tradition that dates back thousands of years.
When a man and woman become husband and wife before God and God's people, something profoundly sacred is happening. It is not just two people making promises to love and live together. It is a sacred union in the image of God. In the words of scripture: "In the image God created them, male and female God created them." (Gen 1:27)
Matrimony is a sacred union that goes beyond mere earthly reality. As a Sacrament, it embodies and witnesses to the love of God; a freely-given love that is total, faithful, fruitful and permanent.
As you approach your wedding day, it's important to prepare yourselves spiritually for this great undertaking so that God's grace can flow freely in your marriage and strengthen you in times of difficulty.
