BANNS
What are banns?
When you get married in a Church in Wales or Church of England Church, banns are a legal requirement (unless you marry by licence). 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. They need to be read in the parish where each of you lives as well as the church in which you are to be married, if that is somewhere else. They must be read in the 3 months before your wedding on 3 Sundays, often in consecutive weeks, but it doesn’t have to be. The minister or responsible person will make a short announcement at the start of or during the service beginning ‘I publish the banns of marriage between…’
Applying for banns & getting your banns certificate
If you live in this Parish but are getting married somewhere else, you will need to fill in a banns application form and send it to our Parish Office. We will check it and let you know when your banns will be read in church. If you have any questions about this, please contact the Parish Office (Rachel Elder) by email or call 029 20708722.
After your banns have been read three times, you need to collect the Banns Certificate and pay the £40 fee, but we will contact you about this. You need to give the Banns Certificate to the priest who is marrying you -
Weddings are now permitted at our churches, with a limited number of guests.
For information please contact the Parish Administrator 029 20708722
