Why a Church wedding?

Because your Wedding Day is such a special event it is important that the place you choose to exchange your vows is one that is special also. This may be one of our local worship centers or a location that is special to the couple. The Parish clergy must also give their agreement to officiate at the requested location.

Every day we use words to express our thoughts and feelings, a Christian wedding enables couples to not only express their love for each other but also their desire to seek the blessing and guidance of God through their marriage. Unlike a civil ceremony that excludes all mention of God, a Church wedding actively involves God through out the words of the ceremony.

A Christian wedding ceremony gives a couple opportunity to express commitment to their relationship with each other. It also enables them to express their relationship with God and their desire to have God involved in their life together as husband and wife.

Keppel Parish supports couples through a number of interviews that explore the special character of Christian marriage, provides a number of practical resources to help the couple grow and strengthen their relationship over time and then an in-depth exploration of the order of service that will be such a special part of your wedding day.
