Marriage Banns and Intentions

Church records often list the date on which a couple makes the announcement
that they intend to marry. These are called marriage banns. In addition, you
can find marriage intentions, which were non-religious public announcements
of the couple's intention to marry. Don't misinterpret the dates of marriage
banns and marriage intentions as the actual wedding date.
