Weddings and Marriage Blessing

Love is a wonderful thing!

Coming to get married in church is a great way to celebrate your commitment to each other. You make commitments in front of friends and family and God to each other in church.

You don’t need to be a regular attendee to get married in church. Although you are always welcome, you do need to meet some conditions.

The law requires that at least one of those to be married should:

  • Live in the parish where the wedding is to take place, or
  • Be a regular worshipper in the parish and have your name entered on the church electoral roll, or
  • Have a ‘qualifying connection’. A ‘qualifying connection’ as described in the Marriage (Wales) Act 2010 is that you were baptised or confirmed in the parish, that you or a parent live or have lived for at least six months in the parish, that you or a parent have habitually attended worship in the parish for at least six months or that a parent or grandparent has been married in the parish.

If you are getting married in one of our churches, you will need to have your banns of marriage read. Banns are a historic legal requirement, where your upcoming wedding is announced on three Sundays in a row. You are very welcome to come on one or all three Sundays to hear your banns being read.
