The Catholic Church has always promoted the understanding that sexuality and commitment go hand and hand. Sexual activity must be interwoven in one fabric with spouse, family, and commitment. The dedication to loving and respecting the unique power and pleasure of sex flourishes best in a healthy marriage and solid family structure.

Much goes into planning a wedding: clothing, reception, photos, invitations, and so forth. All of this is expensive. Don't shortchange the spiritual side of your marriage. Getting ready on the inside is more important than preparing on the outside.
