Marriage is the union of a baptized man and woman who freely enter into a loving covenant with each other in Christ. The self-giving love of bride and groom is sealed and strengthened by the Lord.  The Sacrament of Marriage celebrates the commitment of the couple to living out in their lives together the covenant relationship between God and people.  It reflects the seven characteristics of the biblical covenant, toward which the couple strive. And the Church community commits itself to supporting the couple in their quest.

Congratulations and blessings on your engagement!
