Weddings
The Church of England has a really good website with everything you could possibly need for planning your perfect wedding. Every year, hundreds of thousands Whether you are a regular churchgoer or not, getting married in church allows you to make solemn promises to the one you love, not only in front of your family and friends but also in the sight of God and with God’s blessing.There are legal reqirements on who can marry at St Bartholomew's (or in any other CofE Parish Church) and here they are:
Banns Your banns will be called at St Bartholomew's on the first three Sundays of the month before your wedding. (For example, if you are getting married in July, they will be called on the first three Sundays in June).¨If one of you lives in another parish you must see the parish priest there within three months of your wedding to arrange for the banns to be read there as well. This is most important. You will need to collect a certificate from that parish to show that the banns have been called. This certificate is a legal requirement and you cannot be married without it. (If you both live in this parish this does not apply).
