Witnesses

As directed by Canon Law, couples entering into the sacrament of marriage exchange their vows before an ordained minister (bishop, priest or deacon) and two additional witnesses. As tradition has developed in our Church and our liturgy, the significant roles of the best man and maid/matron of honor have evolved. They should be persons who have supported you along the way to marriage and who will offer you encouragement, as you begin to live out this sacrament.
