II. The Celebration of Marriage

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1621
In the Latin Rite the celebration of marriage between two Catholic faithful
normally takes place during Holy Mass, because of the connection of all the
sacraments with the Paschal mystery of Christ.¹²⁰ In the Eucharist the
memorial of the New Covenant is realized, the New Covenant in which Christ has
united himself for ever to the Church, his beloved bride for whom he gave
himself up.¹²¹ It is therefore fitting that the spouses should seal
their consent to give themselves to each other through the offering of their
own lives by uniting it to the offering of Christ for his Church made present
in the Eucharistic sacrifice, and by receiving the Eucharist so that,
communicating in the same Body and the same Blood of Christ, they may form but
“one body” in Christ.¹²²
