Wedding Policies and Guidelines
As a Catholic institution, the University of Mary is bound by the teachings and laws of the Roman Catholic Church and the particular laws of the Diocese of Bismarck. The University of Mary's chapels serve as places of Catholic worship, and a wedding in the Catholic Church differs from weddings elsewhere. By exchanging consent in the presence of God, with the witness of clergy, family, and friends, two baptized persons enter into the Sacrament of Matrimony. Like all Sacraments, marriage is a visible sign to the world of God’s love. Through the Sacrament of Matrimony, a couple receives the grace needed to live out this sign.
To schedule your wedding at the University of Mary, please contact us at least 10 months before the requested date by completing the form below.
