Getting married at Gosforth Parish ChurchFrom the Vicar: Welcome! I am delighted that you are thinking of getting married and even more delighted that you have chosen to get married in church. My wife Ann and I got married in Church more than 25 years ago and more recently I have presided at my daughter's wedding. Both were very memorable, great fun and very important. A Christian Marriage Service offers the opportunity for a real family and community celebration. Getting married in Church means that you have the opportunity to reflect on what marriage is really all about. As we prepare the details of hymns and flowers and so on we shall also be able to get to know one another and to discuss things at quite a deep level. Down the years you will both be able to look back on your Wedding Day as a great celebration and also as a time when you both committed yourselves wholeheartedly to one another in the sight of God. As we go through all the preparations you will be prayed for by the whole Church family and each year there will be an invitation to return for a special service of prayer for all who have been married in our Church. I hope that these notes will give you all the basic information and support you need but if you have any problems do get in touch with me. I am very happy that you should use these notes to help you even if you are not getting married at Gosforth Parish Church! Philip. Checklist for a Church wedding
