Why Choose a Church Wedding?

What makes a church wedding special?
Maybe a lot of different things -

the holy building
the words we use
walking down the aisle
the music
the flowers
the personal touch through meeting the vicar or minister to plan the service
having God’s blessing on the relationship

What do Christians believe about marriage?
Christians believe that marriage can be a reflection of God’s love for us.
A church wedding gives you the opportunity to declare your love and commitment before family, friends and God as well. This helps put your marriage on a firm foundation.

What happens in a church wedding?
The service enables couples to think through their commitment to each other and to ask God’s help in fulfilling the promises they make on their wedding day.

You can make the service your own by choosing the hymns, music, readings and flowers.
You can involve family and friends if you wish: as ushers, to do the reading, to perform a song or instrumental piece, to arrange the flowers ...

So what do we do now?
Your local church should have a notice board giving the name and address or telephone number of the vicar or minister. He or she would be pleased to help and advise.
