Weddings
If you are thinking of getting married - congratulations!
At the heart of Christian marriage is the belief that your love for one another is a gift from God himself and in the service there are the words “Marriage is a gift of God in creation through which husband and wife many know the grace of God.”
We love to take wedding services either at All Saints or Holy Trinity and have beautiful buildings in which to do that, there are criteria which have to be met in order to have a wedding service at either church.
These are:
-
That one of you has at any time lived in the parish, where you wish the wedding service to happen, for a period of at least 6 months, or
-
was baptised (christened) in the parish concerned, or
-
is confirmed and your confirmation was entered in the register of confirmations for a church or chapel in the parish (this will usually be the case if you were prepared for confirmation in the parish), or
-
has at any time regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for a period of at least 6 months
or
That one of your parents, at any time after you were born:
-
has lived in the parish, where you wish the service to happen, for a period of at least 6 months, or
-
has regularly gone to normal church services in the parish church for a period of at least 6 months
or
That one of your parents or grandparents:
-
was married in the parish
If you cannot demonstrate any of the above connections, you can create one, simply by attending church services where you wish the wedding service to happen, at least once a month for six consecutive months.
If you are thinking of getting married at All Saints or Holy Trinity please get in touch with Rev'd Hannah to arrange to meet her or pop along to one of our services and introduce yourselves.
Please also have a look at our information leaflet which gives you further information.
There is also lots of helpful information on this website from the Church of England.
