Real Brides Podcast E10 CATHOLIC CHURCH WEDDING

On this episode of Real Brides, Kristen and Kyle share the story of their December 2021 wedding day—a traditional Catholic church ceremony followed by a reception at the Ramsey Golf and Country Club. They walk listeners through the details of choosing a meaningful parish, working with a young and relatable priest, and experiencing a modernized Pre-Cana that felt welcoming rather than intimidating. Their reflections highlight how a church wedding can be both spiritual and down-to-earth, keeping things comfortable for non-Catholic guests while honoring long-standing traditions.

They also dive into the logistics of planning a winter wedding: beating the early sunset for photos, balancing limo schedules, and making the most of built-in seasonal décor. From livestreaming the ceremony for far-away family to relying on a strong church coordinator to keep everything on track, Kristen and Kyle prove that a church wedding doesn’t have to be stuffy or stressful. Instead, it can be personal, practical, and full of heart.
