Weddings
‘Marriage is a gift of God in creation Taken from the Marriage Preface, Common Worship
Because the Church of England is the established church in this country, everyone belongs to a parish and the rules governing weddings are set up to encourage people to get married at their parish church. To find out which is your local parish church go to A Church Near You. However, there is a list of qualifying connections, which enables couples to marry at another church to which they have a particular connection. To look at the list and find out if you have a link that qualifies you to marry at one of the churches in Severn Loop, go to Finding a church for your wedding | The Church of England. Many of our churches happen to be very close to top local reception venues, which makes planning the whole day a lot easier! To see the text of a marriage service, go to Marriage | The Church of England. It is also possible to have a Service of Prayer and Dedication after a Civil Marriage, and a Service of Thanksgiving for Marriage (sometimes known as a renewal of vows service). |
