Customer Reviews

A great handbook for "to be" married couples!

I bought this book recently in order to plan our Nuptials which is due to take place early 2010. My Fiance and I wanted to select the readings and other passages but not just by browsing through Catholic websites but by really understanding what the readings mean and convey. We came across many references to this particular book and decided to purchase it ourselves. It is really helpful in terms of providing an explanation of the readings as well as anecdotes from "real" couples. We find this book really helpful and think its a really handy book for couples planning their wedding. The entire format of the mass and prayers / liturgy and Rite of marriage (along with options) is included making it easier to decide. The explanation is simple and easy to understand.

A Must for Catholic Couples

My fiance and I are both devout Catholic and started planning our Nuptial Mass, but neither of us have ever gone to a Catholic wedding that we can remember! I ordered EIGHT books on Catholic weddings, and this one is by far the best. Very easy to follow and straightforward. Makes choosing readings and prayers so simple. If you're having a Catholic wedding--with Mass or outside of Mass---GET THIS BOOK!

Perfect!

This is the book you need to have - a must have- to plan a catholic wedding. It has everything from the how to's, to the why's, to all of the different options for readings etc you can choose. The priests at my church are very familiar with this book and willing to accomadate my wishes. It is simple, well organized and a must have to plan your catholic wedding.

Perfect Book for Creating Your Wedding Program

I recently got married, and we had a difficult time deciding on the elements of the mass, creating a participation program, selecting readings and music. This book is exactly what any Catholic needs to plan the elements of the mass. It comes complete with a fill-in-the-blank guide to hand the priest. This guide allows you to select everything the priest will need to make your wedding, your wedding.I wish I would have know about this book from the beginning. Good luck with your wedding.

Say what YOU want to say, hear what YOU want to hear!

When most couples prepare to marry in the Catholic Church, they don't realize they don't have to have the "standard" wedding mass. This book shows samples and suggestions for choosing your own music, readings from the Bible, responsorial psalms, even adding some personalization to your vows. I'm glad I bought it, I'm looking forward to hearing the mass my fiance and I put together for our wedding. This is a unique book at a bargain price.
