Weddings
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God…”
Weddings
Weddings at St. Martin’s are joyous events indeed. The sacramental rite of the church in which two persons "enter into a life-long union, make their vows before God and the Church, and receive the grace and blessing of God to help them fulfill their vows" (BCP, p. 861). The union is understood to be intended by God for their mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity.
With the exchange of vows, both persons promise to love, comfort, honor, and keep their spouse, in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, to be faithful to their spouse as long as they both live (BCP, p. 424). The congregation witnesses the couple's promises, and the members of the congregation promise to do all in their power to uphold the couple in their marriage.
Contact one of our clergy about your wedding. Our parish staff will help you coordinate schedules.
