For hundreds of years couples from the local community have begun their married life by exchanging vows at St Giles church. It is a ministry we rejoice in and would encourage all couples to begin life together with the support and blessing of God.

If you are resident in a parish you may be married in the parish church. However since October 2008 there are a number of "Qualifying Connections" for those wishing to be married in the Church of England who do not live in a parish or who are not on the electoral roll of the parish. It is important to meet at least one of these "Qualifying Connections".

  1. One or both of the parties should have been baptised in the parish.
  2. One or both of the parties should have been confirmed by the parish.
  3.  A Parent/Grandparent married at the church.
  4. One or both of the parties must have lived in the parish for six months at some point in their lives.
  5. The couple should worship in the parish for six months.
  6. A parent should have lived in the parish for six months.
  7. Parents used to worship in the parish for six months.

We will consider marrying people who have been divorced but not before meeting with the couple to discuss their situation.

The best way to begin to explore having your wedding at St Giles  is simply by coming along to one of the Sunday services, and introducing yourself to one of the clergy afterwards.
