We welcome couples who wish to discuss getting married or having a marriage blessing in church. We aim to make your special day personal and memorable.
The Church of England considers marriage to be a permanent and lifelong union, but the Church has always sought to combine long-held principles with a response to changes in society in a mature and responsible manner. To be married within the plurality:
- one partner must reside in the ecclesiastical parish or be on the church electoral roll
- one of the the couple must have been baptised or prepared for confirmation in the parish
- one of you must have lived in the parish for six months or more
- one of you must have at some point in your life regularly attended public worship in the parish for six months or more
- one of your parents must have lived in the parish for six months or more in your lifetime
- one parents has regularly attended public worship for six months or more in the their child's lifetime
- one of your parents or grandparents were married in the parish
Sadly, sometimes, marriages break down. As a church we seek to up hold the church's doctrine on the sanctity of marriage whilst offering support to those for whom a marriage has broken down. We are able therefore, to offer to a couple, where one or both partners have been involved in a divorce, (so long as they were not the adulterous party) a service of blessing following a civil ceremony.
