Helping Couples Organise their Wedding

Organising a wedding can be joyful and stressful, all at the same time.

Members in the Diocese of Hereford, in conjunction with local clergy, aim to help couples by offering a friendly point of contact, and introducing them to members of the church community who will be involved in their marriage.
As well as the parish priest, the organist, florist and vergers are just some of the people that the couple will want to meet. Members help by arranging sessions when couples can meet these key people, all at the same time.
Depending on the circumstances, a breakfast or lunch is also provided, so that people can meet and chat informally whilst sharing a meal.

(This initiative is also part of the Cana Ministry run by Mothers’ Union in the Diocese of Hereford).

  • An Inspired idea:
    Engaged couples add their names and the date of their wedding to a prayer tree so that members can then pray for them.

  • Feedback on Inspired

    "Looking through the Inspired pages I really was ‘inspired’ to read about the variety of activities with which Mothers’ Union members are involved; some of them really simple so that even the smallest branches could take them on.

    Just imagine if every branch was ‘inspired’ to take up one thing – what an impact that would have!"
