"This book is more than a wedding-planning guide for couples, parents, and grandparents. It's also for those who have had a major influence on the lives of the bride and groom and are sources of wisdom and guidance for the couple, including grandparents, godparents, siblings, mentors, and special friends. In fact, anyone who wants the best possible marriage for their loved ones should read this book."
--from the introduction

A Wedding Guide for Catholics combines secular and Catholic content. It is more than a wedding planner; it helps couples learn to resolve issues that all couples and families face before they become problems.

This book will help couples to appreciate the importance of embracing a Catholic church wedding and achieving a wonderful marriage through prayer. Couples will learn how to minimize wedding-planning stress and conflict and find family harmony through a memorable ceremony and reception. Finally, it provides couples with guidance to develop strong tools in communication, collaboration, and compromise that will serve them throughout their marriage.
