Weddings

Today more than a quarter of all marriages in England take place before God in the traditional setting of a Church of England church.

There are many reasons why you should get married in a church but here are a few. A church wedding will add a spiritual dimension to your marriage. The ceremony includes God and looks to Him for help and guidance. God's blessing is the main attraction for many couples, whatever their beliefs. You can make amazing vows, or promises, in a church. God and your church are there for you to help you keep your vows.

Imagine all the couples who have married in St Mary's, some of whom may well be your family. You can feel you're becoming part of history itself, the bigger plan, by marrying in the same place as your relatives. These sorts of connections can make your day even more special.

The Church of England has some useful advice on planning your wedding.

If you would like to arrange a wedding please contact the vicar.
