A Service of Prayer and Blessing
​after a Civil Marriage.

Many couples who have had a civil wedding decide they would like to dedicate their marriage to God either in one of our churches, or at another venue, following their civil marriage.
​A husband and wife can have their marriage blessed whether they were married in the UK or elsewhere.

​Some couples have to marry in a civil ceremony to stay together legally in the country where they are living.
A subsequent blessing provides a significant religious service for family and friends to attend, and celebrate with them, even if they couldn't attend the earlier civil ceremony.
This service acknowledges the commitment already made between a husband and wife, and asks for God’s blessing and guidance in their new life together.
Because a Service of Prayer and Blessing is not a marriage service, there are no legal requirements involved, but the blessing of rings and the signing of a certificate acknowledges the significance of the service for the couples involved and to their friends and family.
​This service can be adapted in many ways to suit the couple’s wishes. It can have a similar feel to a wedding with hymns, readings and flowers, or it can be an intimate, low key service.
