In a few brief pages, this book provides an extraordinary amount of practical considerations regarding such matters as: what paper work is required by the Church and by the State, how and when should plans be made for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, how to handle family and in-law problems, who makes the final decisions, why is time alone together so essential, what are the liturgical options available, what are the roles of the various members of the wedding party, what about witnesses, licenses, baptismal and confirmation certificates, seating arrangements, processions, recessions, the readings, the vows, the rings, the unity cnadle, flowers for the Blessed Virgin's altar, music, costs, etc., etc. The material covered will save couples an untold amount of time, money and, above all, grief. It is hoped that, as a result, they will enjoy a particularly engaging, joyous and prayerful wedding liturgy. |
