The Sacrament of Holy Matrimony
Uniting as one in Christ, Jesus and witnessing your commitment to each other and to God in the presence of a Catholic Priest or Deacon and a Congregation of Believers is one of the most joyous occasions of the Catholic Church and the newly married couple.
As, such, planning for such an event requires a minimum of 6 months and more likely, one year of preparation. During that time you will meet with your priest or deacon.
