Weddings

A wedding is one of life's great moments, a time of solemn commitment as well as good wishes, feasting and joy. St John tells us how Jesus shared in such an occasion at Cana, and gave there a sign of new beginnings as he turned water into wine.
 
Marriage is intended by God to be a creative relationship, as his blessing enables husband and wife to love and support each other in good times and in bad, and to share in the care and upbringing of children. For Christians, marriage is also an invitation to share life together in the spirit of Jesus Christ. It is based upon a solemn, public and life-long covenant between a man and a woman, declared and celebrated in the presence of God and before witnesses.
 
On their wedding day the bride and bridegroom face each other, make their promises and receive God's blessing. 

Planning Your Wedding

St Peter's is a beautiful historic building at the heart of Fleetwood and an ideal location for a wedding. But a wedding in Church is more than the building, it's a Christian marriage service that celebrates God's love for us, reflected in the love between bride and groom. We'll work with you to plan a service which includes songs, prayers, Bible readings and a short talk about God and marriage.
