Christian marriage is a solemn and public covenant between a man and a woman in the presence of God. The celebration and blessing of a wedding is a sacramental action of the Church, as well as an event for a couple and their family and friends. It is our desire at St. Philip’s to assist individuals as they plan for their wedding so that the preparation time can be a period of growth in the understanding of Christian Marriage. The service itself is a witness to our conviction that marriage was instituted by God and that our Lord does indeed bless those who make a sacred covenant with one another in His name before His altar. Marriage is one of the most significant events in a person’s life. In order to assist couples and their families to begin planning with an understanding of the regulations and traditions of the Church for a wedding of beauty and dignity, the following guidelines are provided. The worship of the Lord is at the heart and understanding of the Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage at St. Philip’s Church. We take this very seriously and joyfully. We plan it carefully.
