Weddings
We believe in marriage, believing it offers a wonderful adventure as well as great security!
There are two kinds of weddings on offer
- First, a civil wedding which once happened solely in a town hall, but now may take place almost anywhere. Till very recently these would not allow religious hymns, songs, or readings but now there may be "readings, songs or music that contain an incidental reference to a god or deity in an essentially non-religious context" (General Register Office publication).
- Secondly, weddings in Christian churches recognise God, as the source of love, the designer of marriage (Genesis chapter 2 verse 24), present to bless us as we gather in His name and at our side all our days. Anyone who lives in the parish may request a wedding at their local church, whether they are members or not.
