Marriage

The Marriage Measure

The new Marriage Measure means that couples are welcome to be married in church in a parish if just one of the following applies:

one of them was baptised or prepared for confirmation in the parish;
one of them has ever lived in the parish for six months or more;
one of them has at any time regularly attended public worship in the parish for six months or more;
one of their parents has lived in the parish for six months or more in their child's lifetime;
one of their parents has regularly attended public worship there for six months or more in their child' lifetime;
their parents or grandparents were married in the parish.
(All of these refer to Church of England services)
