Very helpful guide for practicing Catholics or anyone getting married in the Church. The intended audience is definitely those who attend mass less frequently or those entering into mixed faith marriages, but it would be useful reading for all. The book is funny, and practical if a bit dated. I personally feel they try too hard to convince mix faith couple to avoid Eucharistic celebration as a part of their wedding. Yes there are extra considerations but I believe it can be fine depending on the circumstances of the non-catholic family.
