About this episode

Gabe Gessler, co-founder of Cana, joins Bo Bonner to talk about the platform's new registry. Gabe describes Cana as the fastest-growing Catholic and Christian wedding platform in the U.S. He and his wife own a Catholic photography and videography company, and he saw firsthand how many brides wanted a more intentional, faith-centered engagement. That led to Cana, built to pair the practical work of wedding planning with the Church's rich teaching on the sacrament of marriage.Gabe walks through what couples get for free:A registry where curated Catholic companies' sacred art and home goods sit alongside everyday items, so gift-givers have one place to shop.A wedding website built around truth, beauty, and goodness, with details on the Mass, reception, and nearby hotels.A prayer intentions section where guests pray for the couple and the couple prays for their guests.Guest list and RSVP tools, including collecting allergies.Bo shares how the forks his family received as a wedding gift still remind them of the people who cared for them early in their marriage. Deacon Mark adds that his recently engaged son and his fiancée are planning their wedding on Cana.Sign up for free at Cana.wedding.Heard on the Catholic Morning Show, weekdays at 7 a.m. Central on Iowa Catholic Radio.
