As a Catholic institution, the University of Mary is bound by the teachings and laws of the Roman Catholic Church and the particular laws of the Diocese of Bismarck. The University of Mary's chapels serve as places of Catholic worship, and a wedding in the Catholic Church differs from weddings elsewhere. By exchanging consent in the presence of God, with the witness of clergy, family, and friends, two baptized persons enter into the Sacrament of Marriage. Like all sacraments, this sacrament is a visible sign to the world of God's love. Through the Sacrament of Marriage, a couple receives the grace needed to live out this sign.
