Since our founding six years ago we have always sought a personal, honest, approachable relationship with you through every medium we use to communicate. Gosh, it feels like a big exhale, but also like a bated breath, to publish these words. And yet. It felt like a huge, irrational surprise when we felt the Holy Spirit nudging us, with ever-increasing clarity, toward transitioning away from this work we love and believe in so deeply, turning our gaze inward and ahead. Here, a few important points about our conclusion:.
Our website, social media, Vendor Guide, and podcast will remain available, though inactive. All of our customizable digital productsβincluding wedding programs , stationery suites , and thank you notes βcome with free lifetime access to our editing software. Bear in mind that these products are proprietary and copyrighted, and are for your personal use only. The Spoken Bride Sho p, which includes our best-selling Catholic wedding programs along with a range of other products for your wedding liturgy and home, is open through December 30, Only a perfectly creative Creator can design specific, indelible love stories marked with infinite expressions of His loving hand.
Every vocation, including the call to marriage, is a divine romance. Your wedding offers you and, by extension, everyone present, a window into this sacred beauty. Beauty is a bridge, communicating a depth of understanding that surpasses words and points us to its source. And that glimpse has the power to speak volumesβ to pierce and awaken. If goodness, truth, and beauty are a bridge, where do they lead? To the heart of the Father. Always, he beckons us and meets us right where we are.
He invites us. Our Catholic faith can extend an invitation, not build a wall. It can communicate through those things unspoken that stir the heart to consider its purpose and to embrace its ache for the eternal. Your wedding day, and marriage, can embody the love of God for his children and foretell the heavenly wedding feastβthe ultimate invitation. We sincerely hope your experience was just that: an encounter, real and true without artifice, unafraid of the Cross, a source of encouragement and positivity.
Lord God, from You every family in Heaven and on earth takes its name. Father, You are love and life. Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, born of woman, and through the Holy Spirit, the fountain of divine charity, grant that every family on earth may become for each successive generation a true shrine of life and love.
