Anyone (catholic brides) have a sample program I can take a look at for a regular ceremony, no mass?

Thanks in advance..

me too.....

I would also like a copy if someone has one.

Here is a sample of what I wrote. I got this from info on this site as well as friend's programs and samples provide by the lady who made mine. It looks normal in the program - can't get the formatting right here....Let's see how this works...

Although death has separated us physically, faith and love have bound us eternally. Though we cannot see you, we know you are here. Though we cannot touch you, we feel the warmth of your smile, as we begin this new chapter in our lives. Today we reflect upon those who shaped our character, molded our spirit and touched our hearts. We love and miss you and know that you are here in spirit to help us celebrate this day.

Our Thanks

As we begin our life as husband and wife, we would like to thank all who have shared in the celebration of our love for each other. God has blessed us with wonderful family and friends. We thank you for your continued support and happiness and we look forward to adding more memories to our scrapbooks.

But most of all to our parents, whose nurturing and guidance has left us well-prepared to begin this next phase of our lives, we express unconditional love and gratitude. We are very appreciative of your sacrifices, and only hope that our children will be as lucky as we are.

Love and thanks,
Denise and Louis

Edited to say: my formatting looks horrible in this -can't get it right but I think you get the drift - sort of.

I have the word document but it is not formatted to print programs on a printer since I had them done. I just typed it and kind of formatted it in Word for the printer to use.

If anyone really wants that, let me know and I can email it to you. Send me FM with your email address.
