Following the introduction on 1 October 2008 of the Church of England Marriage Measure, couples can now marry in a parish with which one or both of them can demonstrate ‘a qualifying connection’. Just one of the following needs to apply:
• one of them was baptised or prepared for confirmation in the parish;
• one of them has ever lived in the parish for six months or more;
• one of them has at any time regularly attended public worship in the parish for six months or more;
• one of their parents has lived in the parish for six months or more in their child’s lifetime;
• one of their parents has regularly attended public worship there for six months or more in their child’s lifetime;
• their parents or grandparents were married in the parish.
( All of these refer to Church of England services)
