Dear Resident Reverend,

My fiance and I live in Bristol and are planning to get married this summer at a venue licensed for civil ceremonies in Cheltenham. I had hoped that we would be able to have a wedding blessing or 'service of prayer and dedication' immediately after the civil ceremony (at the same venue), but don't know if this is going to be possible as the venue is not a church. read more »

My fiance and I have recently got engaged! We are now looking to get married some time next year. We would like to get married at st marys church in Colston Bassett, it is in ruins but registered as stable and has visitors occasionally. I was wondering if we could get married there as they are still doing burials?

Would I have to ask at the nearest church to appoint a vicar, or would I have to hire a registrar?

Hope you can answer my question!

I am Serbian orthodox and my boyfriend is English. Can we get married in Church of England?

Until recently I have always lived on the same street, in the same parish, as my parents and grandparents, however I have now moved with my partner approx 1 mile away into the next parish. The church in my parents parish is a very grand old building with a lot of history and my family and I have always dreamed of seeing me married there, however I fear this will not be possible as my partner and I plan to marry next year and we will be living in the next parish. Do you know if it will still be possible to marry in my family's parish now we have moved?
Please help!
Kate, West Bromwich.

My fiancee lives in Weston Super Mare (Local church is a baptist) and I live in Andover (local church All Saints CofE).

When it comes to having the banns read does he have to have them in a different church to the Baptist one? As mine will be read in a Church of England Church?

Many thanks

Victoria

I have been with my Muslim partner for 2 1/2 years, and 2 years of that we have said we will get married.
However, my partner is an asylum seeker, and he wanted to get status on his own without using me or having me involved in any way.
Unfortunatly his claim has been refused, although he is appealing.
I know it sounds dodgy - but we want to now get married, i don't want to lose him, and this now seems to be our only way of staying together in this country. read more »
