Customer Reviews

helpful with a respectful tone toward the engaged couple

This book reflects a respect for the Catholic faith and describes the parts of a Catholic Nuptial Mass. The authors are friendly and helpful. This is by no means a complete wedding guide (buy Bridal Bargains and Weddings for Dummies for that), but this book offers valuable information regarding the Catholic wedding. This book is much better than Your Catholic Wedding by Chris Aridas. I highly recommend "The Catholic Wedding Book.""The Catholic Wedding Book" offers suggestions on appropriate music for the Nuptial Mass, as well as Old and New Testament readings, Gospel reading, psalms and hymns. The chapter "The Script," is especially helpful.

Cute, accurate, friendly, but limited

The Catholic Wedding Book is a nice break from books that thunder about how "the wedding is just one day." It also includes everything you need to know to plan your One Day in the Catholic Church -- if you're a young couple having a typical wedding hosted by your parents. Older and more established couples may chuckle at the early chapters but will have to wait for the ceremony chapter to find useful information. The checklists and sample forms in the appendices are excellent.

This book answers every possible question you might have.

This was a handy reference book that was humorously written to take the guesswork out of planning a wedding. Even "cradle Catholics" need some guidelines, and this is the book for anyone who wants a Catholic wedding. It includes variations for all needs and wishes.

This is the best

Of all the books out there on Catholic weddings, this is probably the best all around guide. It includes substantial information on how to plan your wedding cerimony and Nuptual liturgy.
