We are very blessed to be married in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony according to the ancient Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. Our vows will be the first element of the ceremony, where we profess our commitment under God's law for our union until death. Our wedding rings are blessed with Holy Water to become sacramentals and ceremoniously we place the ring on each other's left hand to signify our giving of each other in the bond of marriage. We are exhorted to live for each other and for God and reminded that we should love each other unconditionally because of how God loves each of us. By the invocation of the Blessed Trinity, we are united together in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony forever.

After the exchange of vows and blessing by the Priest, the ceremony immediately turns to the Latin Nuptial Mass. This will be the first action of our married life to pray and attend Mass together in thanksgiving and to honor God as the center of our union. After the reception of Holy Communion, we will enter the Sanctuary to present a bouquet to the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and light a candle by the statue of Saint Joseph. We ask that you join us in prayer as we express our gratitude for all of our blessings. In particular, we thank God for the vocation of marriage and for our marriage to be holy and fruitful all the days of our lives.

Booklets with the English and Latin translation will be available in each pew for your use during the ceremony and Nuptial Mass.
