What are the Banns of Marriage?
Banns are an announcement in church of your intention to marry and a chance for anyone to put forward a reason why the marriage may not lawfully take place. Banns are an ancient legal tradition and have been read out every week in churches across the land for millions of couples, over many centuries.
Where you live makes a difference:
If you live in a different parish you need to show that you qualify to get married at our church. As well as completing the wedding application form please also complete this form so we can ensure you are eligible to get married at either St Andrew’s or St Michael’s or St Thomas’s. Qualifying Connections Form
If you live in Colnbrook, Horton or Wraysbury but are getting married at a church elsewhere you will need your Banns read at the Parish church where you live. You can request this by completing this Banns Request online Form or by printing this Banns Application form and completing it and returning it to the parish church
The procedure for issuing a Marriage Certificate changed on 4th May 2021. Certificates are no longer issued by the church but by the register office. For St Andrews and St Michaels please use this link and for St Thomas click here to request a certificate for a wedding held after 4th May 2021.
REQUEST PRAYER
Your prayer will be passed onto our pray team who will pray for you. You do not have to leave any personal details about yourself unless you would like us to contact us directly.
There are many reasons why we might want to pray – because we are searching for the right relationship, because we long for true communication, because we are searching for meaning because our heart if overflowing, because we are at our limits, or because we feel compassion.
If you would like to join in prayer, want prayer support or have an issue that you would like prayer for, please contact us.
We will reply to you as soon as possible.
