What is the correct wording for the formal wedding invitation of my daughter? It is not a nuptial Mass but Liturgy of the Word. I would like to include “united in the sacrament of holy matrimony.”
Mr. and Mrs. James Thomas Young
request the honour of your presence at the marriage in Christ of their daughter
Amelia Suzanne
to
Mr. Robert Glenn Wyatt
They will be united in the sacrament of holy matrimony…
This also works for weddings in which there will be a nuptial Mass. If one of the parties to be married is not baptized, then delete the lines “in Christ” and “united in the sacrament of holy matrimony” since both parties must be baptized for the marriage to be sacramental.
