We warmly welcome you to our wedding ceremony.

.

Our shared Catholic faith has been the foundation of our relationship. As we grow more in love each day, we feel truly blessed to have found one another. In fact, it was the novena to St. Raphael—the patron saint of happy meetings—that brought Nicholas to Paulina!

.

The Chaldean Catholic Church is part of the Eastern Rite and is fully united with the Roman Catholic Church. While we share the same beliefs, the Chaldean tradition expresses the Catholic faith through ancient customs, music, and prayers—many of which are offered in Sureth, a modern dialect of Aramaic, which is the language that was spoken by Jesus. The Mass will be celebrated in both English and Sureth.

.

We feel truly blessed to celebrate on June 13th—a day filled with profound spiritual meaning. It is the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua, the beloved patron saint of miracles and seekers, whose gentle intercession brings hope and guidance to so many.

.

This special date also marks one of the sacred apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima, who appeared on the 13th of six consecutive months in 1917, offering messages of peace, protection, and unwavering devotion. Even more beautifully, our celebration falls within the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus—a powerful symbol of divine love and mercy.

.

With hearts full of gratitude, we are honored to share this day with you all.

With Love,

Nicholas & Paulina
