Wedding ceremonies
In the UK, couples can choose either a religious or a civil wedding ceremony.
Religious ceremonies will generally happen in the relevant place of worship.
Civil ceremonies must not be distinctive of any religion or belief. They can take place at a registry office, or in any premises licensed to hold weddings under the Marriage Act.
Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire is licensed for weddings.

The Roman Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox Churches say that marriage is a sacrament.
Marriage as a sacrament
A sacrament is an outward visible sign of an inner blessing from God.
Do you know what this means?
All Christians believe that marriage is a serious commitment. Couples wanting to wed will often
attend a course to ensure they are fully prepared.
