Your Wedding at St John’s
Congratulations on your decision to marry!
We understand that this is a major step in your relationship and are keen to work with you as you begin this new phase of your life’s journey. St John’s has been celebrating weddings in the Canberra region since our foundation in 1841. We have a long history of offering a place of sanctuary and of valuing tradition. It would be our privilege to be part in your wedding and to help you prepare for marriage. We believe that marriage is one of the most important commitments a man and woman can make. As our marriage services says: “Marriage is a gift from God… a life-long partnership” where “two become one”.
Marriage is intended by God to be a creative relationship - God’s blessing enables husband and wife to love and support each other in good times and bad. In choosing to be married in the church we understand that you desire God’s blessing on your marriage. The “God dimension” adds an important factor to your thinking and planning, giving additional meaning to the vows you will exchange, the promises you will make. This is because you will stand in the spiritual presence of the One who makes and gives life to all things - including you and your partner. In a very real sense, a church marriage includes God not only in the service itself, but in all the years that are ahead for you. The other dimension to your choice to marry at St John’s is our commitment to you.
