Holy Matrimony
 
You may be a proud Christian but not a member of a church congregation. It could be that you want a Christian service somewhere other than in a church. A building is not necessarily important, it looking for God's blessing, the spirit of the occasion and the people with whom you are choosing to share your day that matters.
 
 
 

 

  

 

 

 

It may be that you have completed the legalities of your marriage and are now looking for God's Holy blessing in order to have more feeling and emotion for you both in the presence of family and friends.

 

Many people complete the legal side of their marriage in a registry office. It could be that a church wedding was not possible for whatever reason or simply unwanted. However, receiving God's blessing on your relationship may be incredibly important to you.

 

Together we can plan a service for Holy Matrimony in a venue of your choice and with  people important to you (maybe not included at the legal stage) invited to help celebrate your marriage. 

 

I will help you put together a ceremony that is totally unique to you as a couple. You may want an intimate affair with two or three friends, or a more lavish ceremony with many guests. You arrange the venue whether it is your back garden, a function hall or a hotel. 


The order of service is discussed with you. I can offer samples and suggestions but it may be that you already have your own ideas. 

 

Some people want a service which talks greatly of their absolute devotion and love for one another and others prefer a more traditional request for God's blessing.


You can have readings or poems which can be read by friends or relatives. You can choose conventional vows, write your own or a combination of the two. As you can see the possibilities are endless as everyone’s service should be special and unique.

  

 

 

  

 

  This is a serious commitment therefore it is important for me to meet you both before hand. 

 

 

 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
