We are so excited to begin the journey toward marriage with you! Thank you for your desire to start your marriage preparation here at Good Shepherd. Please find more information below, including the first step, an overview of our marriage preparation program (please begin at least 6 months before your wedding date), and an informational packet on the requirements for marriage. Please reach out to Jacob Hubbard with any questions you may have.
first step - wedding inquiry form
Please click the button below and fill out the Wedding Inquiry Form, which will officially begin your marriage preparation process here at Good Shepherd. After you fill the form out, a team member will be in contact shortly to set up your initial meeting!
Your Marriage Preparation Contact
Your contact throughout your marriage preparation at Good Shepherd is Shannon Weimholt. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to her directly!
MARRIAGE PREP OVERVIEW: 6+ MONTH TIMELINE
After you fill out the inquiry form, Jacob will meet with you for about 45 minutes to walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have. Soon after this meeting, you will be put in contact with scheduling to reserve our church for your wedding day (if needed).
You will then be registered with Fully Engaged, our marriage preparation program designed to equip you with the principles and tools needed to live out a wonderful, Christ-centered marriage! You will be led through Fully Engaged by a sponsor couple from Good Shepherd.
After your initial meeting, you will also register for a Pre-Cana retreat and Natural Family Planning Class through the Diocese of Fort Worth. After you complete all your classes and paperwork, your marriage packet will be sent to the diocese for final approval!
