Weddings (Holy Matrimony)

If you have just got engaged and are looking into organising a wedding, congratulations!

We are very happy to organise weddings at St Alphage' s and you should contact Fr Luke if you would like to speak about how and when. Who can get married where is regulated by law - but if you are unsure speak to a member of the clergy. We will be happy to help if we can.

 

It is advised you speak to a member of the clergy as soon as possible to arrange a date and to work out what legal matters need to be sorted. 

​​

Please note that we keep to a traditional understanding of marriage, which includes it is a life-long-commitment. This means that if one or both of you is divorced, it will not be possible to marry here if your former spouse is still living.
