Congratulations on your engagement. We would love to be able to help you as you plan your wedding service. Please do get in touch to explore the possibility of holding your wedding with us. You can get married in St Helen's, or any Church of England church, if you can show that one of you:

• have at any time lived in the parish for at least six months, or
• was baptised in the parish, or
• is confirmed and your confirmation was entered in the register of confirmations for St Helen’s Church, or
• has at any time regularly gone to normal church services at St Helen's for a period of at least six months.

Alternatively, if you can show that:

• one of your parents, at any time after you were born has lived in the parish for at least six months, or
• one of your parents in your lifetime has regularly gone to normal church services in St Helen’s for a period of at least 6 months, or
• one of your parents or grandparents was married in St Helen's.

We run a three week course designed to give engaged or recently married couples a solid Christian foundation to their marriages. We let the Bible teach us how to build a marriage on the Christian principles of grace and forgiveness, while tackling practical issues of communication, conflict and sex.

The course is also suitable for people who wouldn't call themselves Christian. Please email Richard and Philly for more information or to reserve a space on a course.
