Weddings at St. Michael's
We welcome you as you embark on the venture of Holy Matrimony. Because a marriage is entered into within the community of faith, we normally expect one party, at least, to be an active, baptized member of St. Michael’s or in the process of becoming part of this parish. We believe that the spiritual dimension of life is the vital core of a marriage and that the support of the community of the church is essential. It is the Spirit who transforms a human marriage into Holy Matrimony.
It is vital for couples planning to be married in the church to understand that Christian marriage assumes the centrality of Jesus Christ and our life of discipleship in His life and the life of His Church, both in the new relationship and throughout their life together. The marriage liturgy itself is the beginning of that remarkable journey.
An interview with the rector is the first step to take in making plans for a wedding, and we suggest that this be done at least six months in advance. Initial dates and times for the rehearsal and wedding can be arranged before this, but final plans cannot be made until after a personal interview with the rector.
St. Michael's Episcopal Church affirms and supports marriage between opposite sex couples and same sex couples. The couple must complete pre-marital counseling with the rector prior to the wedding.
Weddings are not performed during the liturgical seasons of Advent and Lent.
Please reach out to the Very Rev. Robert Beazley to learn more or to set up an initial conversation.
