You're getting married? Congratulations and blessings to you both.
The sacrament of marriage is a cause for joy and celebration.
And you want to have the ceremony here? Please know that you are welcome, and we're thrilled to celebrate your wedding with you. By coming to St. Andrew's to be married, you are requesting that the church both witness and bless your marriage. This would be our privilege.
There are a few things you'll need to consider:
A wedding is one day; Christian marriage is for a lifetime.

Anglican Church law requires that requests for marriage in Anglican churches be made at least 60 days (two months) before the hoped-for date of the wedding. This is, in part, to ensure that both the clergy and the facility will be available. A more important aspect is so that meetings for marriage preparation may be set up. As a rule, most couples can expect to meet with parish clergy at least three times before your wedding date.
People who have been divorced need to be aware that more time is going to be needed in preparation for your marriage, and so should contact the church as soon as possible, and preferably before a wedding date is set.
When setting dates, please know that in the Diocese of Caledonia, weddings may not take place on Sundays or during the last two weeks of the seasons of Advent and Lent (so the two weeks leading up to and including Christmas Day and the two weeks leading up to and including Easter Sunday).
