    What a very informative website this is.

    I've been going through my diary, entering all the dates for Wedding Shows as they are very conveniently listed here.

    If you're planning to visit any Wedding Shows, do look out for the Church of England stand and stop by for a chat. You'll be guaranteed a welcome.

    I'm hugely privileged to be taking an active role in two weddings this year. One is for some friends who met at our house (and for once I wasn't meddling!) and the other is for Scott - a friend of my son - who is marrying the lovely Janell in the summer.

    I'm officiating at Scott & Janell's wedding and am just about to submit Banns forms and it occurred to me that this might be an opportune moment to remind you to think about this if you're planning a wedding this year.

    Dear Resident Reverend,

    I have chosen two hymns for my service 13 Oct 2007. All things bright and beautiful and O' Perfect Love. Our families are not familiar with O' Perfect Love, I was wondering if I could substitute a hymn for another reading?

    At the moment we are in the middle of the flood situation and feel my vicar will be busy helping those in need.

    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.

    Dear Resident Reverend,

    Is it possible for me to marrying my children's father who is Nigerian - although he is not a British citizen although has been in Scotland for 20 years. We are not able to marry in any Scottish church.

    Can you advise if we would need to come to England in order to be married.

    Thank you,

    Lynda

    Is it possible to have a civil ceremony and a church blessing at a later date instead of getting married in church?

    My partner and i are planning on getting married August next year. We would like to marry in a small (very small, about 5 houses!) village church in a place called Didlington. My partners grandparents have lived there all their lives and he spent alot of his childhood there. We have been told by the 'Head family' of the village this is fine.
