This register of marriage services allows churches to keep a record of all wedding ceremonies conducted, in line with the new requirements introduced in May 2021.
The requirement to make a record applies where a marriage has been solemnized according to the rites of the Church of England, in a church or chapel in which banns may be published, irrespective of the form of preliminary used.
It gives space to record:
‣ the date and place of the marriage;
‣ the name and surname of each party;
‣ the date of birth of each party;
‣ the occupation of each party;
‣ the address of each party at the time of marriage;
‣ the names of the party’s parents (with space for up to eight);
‣ the names of the witnesses;
‣ the name and signature of the member of the clergy who solemnized the marriage
