Your church wedding

Getting married is one of the biggest decisions you'll take in life. There are some things about a religious ceremony that make that big moment extra special:

A church wedding will add a spiritual dimension to your marriage. God's blessing is an important factor for many couples, whatever their beliefs.
Your wedding vows, made in a church, will help you to stay together and grow together.

Many of the country's churches offer centuries of history. You can feel you're becoming part of history itself by marrying in the same place as your relatives.
