We are delighted to welcome couples to Newport Church for their wedding. The service is central to one of the most important days of your life and we do everything we can to ensure that it is really special.

We are also here to help you prepare for your married life together. By getting married in church, you are asking for God’s blessing on your life together - the best start you can have. 

If you want to get married in St Mary's then we will do everything we can to help you to do that. The law says that you need to satisfy one of the following criteria to be able to do that:

• Reside in the parish

• Worship at St Marys regularly

• Have your name on the church's electoral roll.

• Have a 'Qualifying Connection' with the church. A Qualifying Connection as described in the Marriage (Wales) Act 2010 is "that you were baptised or confirmed in the parish, that you or a parent formally lived for at least six months in the parish, that you or a parent formerly habitually attended worship in the parish for at least six months or that a parent or grandparent had been married in the parish." 

If you are in any doubt at all then get in touch and we will help you as best we can.

More information on weddings can be found on the Church of England's weddings site - www.yourchurchwedding.org
