Marriages

We are honored that you are considering St. Paul’s for your wedding. These guidelines are used to help couples understand the procedures and policies for the Christian wedding liturgy at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. We hope that reading this booklet will help to answer your questions and provide you with a clear picture of our hopes and expectations, both for the day of your wedding and for your marriage.

The Episcopal Church canons on marriage are fully inclusive of both same and different gender couples. We understand that all committed, lifelong relationships are outward and visible signs of an inward, spiritual, and God-given love. The occasion when couples approach the Church with the intention of being married, or seeking the blessing of their civil marriage, is an opportunity to invite them deeper into the life of Christ. In this context, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church seeks to support couples in their commitment to one another and to help make the love of God more visible for the whole community.
