Christian Holy Matrimony
Holy matrimony is not only a public celebration but a covenant made before God and witnessed by family, church, and community. A wedding website should therefore do more than announce logistics. It should prepare hearts, communicate order, and support a peaceful service.
Every denomination and local church may have its own requirements for counseling, order of service, attire, and sacramental practice. Confirm these details with your officiant before publishing them.

Covenant service and witness
