What's New in the Spoken Bride Community | September 2021 Update

/

Ever wonder what songs other brides chose for their wedding Mass? Looking for ways to make your first home as newlyweds sacred and beautiful? Excited to share a photo once you’ve tried on your gown? Just need a place for encouragement and intercession from other Catholic brides?

We’ve got you.

The Spoken Bride Community is a feed-style app we created to be different from any other platform out there. No sponsorships, no ads, no cursory Likes. Just honest conversations about practically anything you can imagine related to engagement and married life, and spiritual and practical support that meets you where you are.

We’re ready to welcome you and can’t wait to see what fruits your voice and your story will bring to the Community!

Your first month is free, and after that, for the price of one specialty coffee a month, you’ll receive access to:

  • Daily discussion topics and dialogue with other new brides and Spoken Bride team members, along with direct message options 

  • Weekly and monthly prayer opportunities that align with the liturgical year

  • Monthly virtual events hosted by Catholic wedding vendors, counselors, and more, ready to share their expertise and address your questions face to face

  • Exclusive downloads and discounts from the Spoken Bride Shop

  • Sincere affirmation, insight, and connection that forges real bonds of sisterhood and celebrates your engagement and wedding milestones alongside you

We truly believe the Spoken Bride community embodies goodness, truth, beauty, and relationship, inviting you into our mission in a distinctive and personal way. 

Here’s what we’ve been discussing recently…

  • One of our Community members got married in the month of August and worked with Spoken Bride vendor, Mary Katherine. Congratulations, Lynn and John! 

  • We hosted a “Budgeting for Families” workshop where Andi Compton shared a valuable tool and resource her and her husband have been using for years - as well as insight as to what it takes to raise children in her area.

  • Holy places we have visited - Assisi, Siena, Athens, Lourdes - too many beautiful and sacred places to list!

  • How paying for college (or paying off college debt) can sometimes affect your engagement or marriage. 

  • The inevitable challenges that arise when planning a wedding… trying to please your guests, cultural differences, details, etc. 

...And here’s what’s coming up:

  • First Friday prayer meetings are moving to 9:00am EDT. Join us if you’re able! 

  • A discussion on how to get involved in your parish as engaged and married couples… where to start, how to stay involved, and how to determine your unique gifts and talents. 

  • Celebrating JPII: We will be reading a section of Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love to read and discuss together as a group on his feast day, October 22! 

You’re invited, and we hope you’ll join us.
