"God brought you two, To join as one/ Blessed and sanctified, Through God's dear son/ Today and everyday, And for many years ahead/ may your love be like a strand, Of a strong woven thread", as quoted by M.S. Lowndes, marriage is the strongest bond for people of all communities across the world. It is a ceremony to unite two souls, their families and friends in a common social sphere. It is a pledge meant to last for ever. Right from the Biblical days, Catholic wedding has been considered a sacred and happiest event. Recently, the wedding ceremonies of Goan (India) Catholics have become legendary in many parts around the world because of the distinctive Portuguese influence. The wedding caterers generally take care of everything from the invitation cards to the marriage ceremony in the church, along with the reception and dinner.
A catholic wedding ceremony consists of at least three biblical readings, exchange of rings and vows, the Prayer of the Faithful, nuptial blessings, and appropriate music. However, prior to this the most important thing for the couple is preparing and sending Christian wedding invitations to the friends and families. Like all Indian wedding cards, catholic wedding cards also portray the tradition and rich culture of a Christian community.
Christian wedding invitations generally are done in the most unique fashion. More flamboyant invitations are accompanied by gifts for the guests. The gifts can be anything from a champagne bottle to perfume, flowers, chocolates, dry fruit box or even soft toys. Instead of traditional catholic wedding cards, many people prefer stylish customized ones. The exclusive designs create a style statement that has a blend of traditional design with a tinge of modern elegance.
