We know that this is a very happy, exciting and busy time for you. We want everything about your wedding day to be beautiful and joyous. Everyone knows the anticipation involved in a wedding and anticipation itself is part of the thrill and excitement. But how to keep anticipation of the "big day" from becoming anxiety and worry and tension? One of the ways is solid preparation. Everyone will be less anxious and really free to celebrate the event if there has been good planning ahead of time. Planning your wedding will deepen and strengthen your relationship to each other and to the Church. In planning the ceremony, you want to keep it honest. No pretense. Nothing that will distract people from praying.
What you believe, what you hope and pray for, is the very stuff out of which the wedding should be
planned. Sacraments demand such faith. Most of all, try to pray together. Pray the prayers of the marriage ritual during the weeks and months of anticipation. Read and pray over the various scripture passages for weddings. Request your parents and friends to pray for you during these days.
We are happy to welcome you as you inquire about your marriage. We hope that these months of preparation will be a time of spiritual preparation, along with all the other details of planning a wedding. We want to help make this a peace-filled time, and to help you make your wedding day a spiritual experience, overflowing with an abundance of blessings. Please contact our parish at least 6 months in advance to schedule an appointment with our parish priest.
