Christ Church Scarborough Village
Marriage in the Church (Weddings)
Couples are married in the church because they wish to have a religious ceremony, not just a social occasion in a pretty building with a religious touch. They desire to make their commitment (vows) to each other blessed by God, who is already part of their lives. The “Wedding” signals the start of a day of celebration which may include dinners, receptions and other events of fellowship.
A Special Sacrament
A wedding is a sacrament of the church to which members of the congregation and other guests are invited to participate as witnesses to an important event in the lives of two people.
A Lifetime Commitment
Because the “Wedding” is at most only a few hours and the “Marriage” is a lifetime, couples are required to attend a Marriage Preparation Programme designed to help them successfully navigate the transition from engagement to a solid and fulfilling life together.
Wedding Planning
Weddings can be small and private, or involve over a hundred enthusiastic well-wishers. The whole wedding day should reflect the couples’ needs and the resources they bring to the event. A meeting with the priest should be arranged early in the planning process.
