About this Sacrament
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' For Your Marriage website has information on planning a Catholic wedding HERE and more about preparing for and living the sacrament of marriage HERE.
"The sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life." (Catechism of the Catholic Church)
