Marriage
Marriage in the Catholic Church, also called matrimony, is the “covenant by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life and which is ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring”, and which “has been raised by Christ the Lord.
The Sacrament of Marriage, also called Matrimony, celebrates and witnesses the covenant of love between two people and symbolises in that union Christ’s covenant of love for the Church. The Catholic Church believes that the marriage bond is sacred and permanent. In the wedding ceremony the bride and groom administer the sacrament to each other by their declaration of consent. By this holy exchange their union is sanctified by the Holy Spirit who strengthens them for their life together.
The wedding ceremony is the formal occasion where you declare your love and exchange your vows before the community. The ceremony comprises Scripture readings, prayers, blessings and songs.
