As you are aware your decision to marry is one of the most important and far reaching ones you will ever make in life. It is a decision to live a shared life. We believe it is also a decision that is blessed by God. The wedding ceremony celebrates your love and the love of God who brought you together. So we in the church have a real interest in you and your life together. We want to support you in the decision you have made.
