Marriage

A wedding is one of those wonderful milestones in human life which provides us with the opportunity for great joy and celebration. As Christians we believe that a marriage in a Christian church blesses a husband and wife in the presence of God and is the beginning of a shared life together in the love of Jesus Christ. Couples are asked to make a firm covenant with each other to love and support each other, through good times and bad. They also make a solemn promise that if and when children arrive, and they move from being a couple to a family, that they share in their care and upbringing.

If you wish to talk to someone about getting married in one of our churches, then please contact Fr John on revjohnwbarker@gmail.com

If you have been divorced and your previous spouse is still living, you may still be married in the Church of England, but at the discretion of the Vicar.
