Marriage Preparation
If you want to get married simply make an appointment for you and your partner to meet Fr. Doug. It is diocesan policy that there should be a minimum of six months notice given before a wedding but most couples book well in advance of that. Fr. Doug will explain all the procedures that you will need to undertake which will include taking part in a preparatory day run by ‘Marriage Care’ counsellors.
You will have the chance to prepare the wedding ceremony with Fr Doug.
