 Wedding Planners : Wedding Year Checklist

 Back to Main Essential Wedding Planners

 

 

 

 

Churches are often booked many months in advance for weddings, so it is important to contact the minister as soon as possible. If the minister is able to conduct your wedding ceremony, you will need to consult him or her on your plans for hymns, music, flowers, photographs, videos and tape recordings.

The Church of England & the Church in Wales

are allowed to register a marriage at the same time as performing the religious ceremony.

Ministers and priests of all other religions can be authorised to register marriages and must have a certificate or licence to do so from the local Superintendent Registrar. For Jewish and Quaker marriages, the authorisation is automatic. For all other religions, if the official performing the ceremony is not authorised, either a Registrar must attend the religious ceremony or the partners will need to have seperate religious and civic ceremonies. Church fees can vary up to £500

Roman Catholic

The catholic Church often request that couples wishing to get married attend talks with their priest in preparation for marriage.

Arrangements for a wedding in a Catholic Church are always made through the priest in the parish in which you are living. At least Three months notice must be given to the priest.

If you are both Catholics you should approach the priest of the bride's parish to arrange a date. If you are both from the same parish, the priest in that parish does the preparations for you both, including the pre-nuptial enquiries, which are compulsory

If you are Catholic and marrying someone who is not a Catholic, arrangements are made by the priest in your parish. He will apply to the bishop for permission (if your partner is baptised), or for a dispensation (if your partner is not baptised).

If your partner is not a Catholic they should present a baptism certificate (if baptised), and proof of freedom to marry should be presented. This can be in the form of a letter from, for example, parents or a minister, or an affidavit from a solicitor.

In all cases, the priest acts as a civil registrar and he registers the marriage with the registrar of marriages

You must each have certain documents:-

  • baptism certificate of recent date, that is, within the last six months before the wedding
  • confirmation certificate
  • letter of freedom, that is, a certificate that you have not married before and are free to marry
