“The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.”

Barbara De Angelis

I welcome you all to this www.yourweddingpreparation.com website. This site was created to help couples prepare for their wedding and marriage.

As we all know, couples who are preparing for marriage look for guidance not only in planning the wedding service, but also in preparation for marriage.  This site offers a comprehensive resource for couples to plan for their marriage. It is designed to assist and help the couples review their psycho-social-religious-emotional aspects of their existence, and to examine their compatibility and readiness to assume the responsibilities of marriage and what it entails. It also serves as a resource to plan their wedding liturgy and ceremony itself.

The old saying goes, "A Wedding is but a day, a Marriage is a lifetime."  Because we believe that Marriage is so important, we are here to assist couples to really prepare themselves for this commitment. We hope that the couples will find time to review these resources, discuss and study  them thoroughly, and hopefully, these resources could  assist them make  an informed and  real decision, a commitment that will last for a lifetime.

The following pages will give you a comprehensive overview about various issues and topics that the couples need to discuss and examine, as they prepare themselves for marriage. The last part will give you explanations about the requirements for marriage, the documents that they will need, the wedding liturgy, fees and other important information.

We wish you the best as you prepare for a beautiful wedding service, but more importantly, we pray that you persevere in your journey in life together.
