If you are responsible for preparing couples for marriage in the Catholic Church . . .

Whether you work at a Catholic parish, diocese, or school helping to prepare couples for Catholic marriage, you can provide couples with a "heads up" about what to expect by sending them to this website from yours.

Help others find good information

Every month, people search for "Catholic wedding" related terms nearly 193,000 times on the major search engines. What do they find?

 

"The Catholic Church feels that flowers that are part of the wedding scene take on the spirit of the sacrament and should remain in the church for others to share."
—WeddingDetails.com
"Begin to envision your ceremony. Should it be long and symbolic? Short and sweet? Do you want to include all the rituals or just the highlights?"
—step 1 from "Catholic Wedding Checklist" on TheKnot.com
"Things you will need: Wedding Thank-you Stationery; Wedding Gowns; Invitations; Wedding Planner Book; Wedding Albums; Wedding Rings; Wedding Programs."
—from "How to Plan a Catholic Wedding" at eHow.com

We believe that CatholicWeddingHelp.com provides more substantial, accurate, and helpful information to couples planning a Catholic wedding than these and other websites that appear first in the search engine results for "Catholic wedding."

 

The search engines rank their results partly by the popularity of a given web page, as measured by the number of other web pages that link to it. In order for CatholicWeddingHelp.com to be one of the top results for those searches, we need links from other websites: parish websites, personal wedding websites, wedding forums, and so on.

 

Thanks for your help!
