Weddings

A breaf introduction

The Anglican Church of Canada affirms, according to our Lord’s teaching as found in Holy Scripture and expressed in the Form of Solemnization of Matrimony in the Book of Common Prayer, that marriage is a lifelong union in faithful love, and that marriage vows are a commitment to this union, for better or for worse, to the exclusion of all others on either side. This union is established by God’s grace when two duly qualified persons enter into a covenant of marriage in which they declare their intention of fulfilling its purposes and exchange vows to be faithful to one another until they are separated by death. The purposes of marriage are mutual fellowship, support, and comfort, and the procreation (if it may be) and nurture of children, and the creation of a relationship in which sexuality may serve personal fulfilment in a community of faithful love. This covenant is made in the sight of God and in the presence of witnesses and of an authorized minister.

Countryside wedding

Getting married in the countryside is for those who love nature. It is about enjoying the gentle breeze on your face and being blessed during the ceremony by a beautiful, unforgettable flight of birds celebrating love with the couple. Nature itself becomes the sacred temple par excellence.

On the Beach

Couples who choose a beach wedding often have a love story deeply connected to the sea. Many who come to us share that they first met on the beach, perhaps during a holiday with friends.

Celebrating a wedding by the sea is to be blessed by the incredible energy of this place, where we are surrounded by the creative work of God.

It is simply amazing!
