Marriage in Church Of England!!!
by asiapaul | 3 April, 2010 - 13:55
Am Joanna,i grew up in a christian (Catholic) family,am presently almost 2months pregnant with my longterm partner who is also a christian but not a Catholic but i would love to get married in a Church Of England due to its tolerant way of worship but we are finding this dream unrealisable as we have always and presently live in Scotland.
Can anyone help plz?
Thank You,
Jo

Hi Joanna
If your parents or grandparents lived in England or were married in the Church of England then that would be classed as a qualifying link and you could apply to be married there. But have you looked at any of the Churches in Scotland?
The Episcopal Church in Scotland is the equivalent to the Church of England - it's Anglican. You might also be interested in looking at The Church of Scotland.
Don't worry about being judged about being pregnant. Most Ministers will recognise your commitment to each other and to the baby, and be pleased that you want to be married in Church.
I hope this helps
Warm regards
