Advice 5
Decide on the form of marriage you would like, ie, Civil Ceremony at a Register/Registrars Office, or Church wedding.
Check that a suitable venue for the Reception is available on the day of your choice. This should be done before approaching the Register Office or Church, because
although both of these can accommodate several weddings a day, a local hall or hotel probably can not.
Having determined that your chosen venue is available, go to see the registrar or minister (depending on your choice of ceremony) so that the proper legal and/or
religious arrangement can be made.
If you have chosen a civil ceremony, you would visit your local Superintendent/Chief Registrar as soon as possible, but not more than twelve months before the proposed
wedding date (see "Essential Information"). Ask how many guests can be accommodated at the Register Office ceremony, and whether photographs, a video
camera and ******** are allowed.
If, on the other hand, you have chosen a Church Wedding, points you should discuss with the minister include the details of the ceremony, the style and order of
service, whether or not a choir should be present, the music to be played, and the possibility of having bells rung. Talk about fees payable (some are statutory legal
ones, but other church costs are at the discretion of the minister), and ask whether or not guests will be allowed to take photographs in church. Will a video camera
be permitted in church during the service? What are his or her views on ********?
The minister may want to talk to you about the significance of a church wedding, and some may invite you to attend a "marriage preparation course", which will give
a broad picture of all the issues involved. Remember, ministers are experts, and their help, advice and guidance will be invaluable.
