Those to be married in the Church please take note of the following:
1. All weddings will normally take place in the church in keeping with the canons and customs of the Church. Directives on marriage of an unbaptized person, marriage of divorced persons and the Canon on Marriage (Canon XXI) are in effect. 2. The marriage ceremony will be that of the Book of Common Prayer (1962) or the Book of Alternative Services (1985). 3. Marriages require a minimum of sixty days notice; a marriage license must be obtained from the Province of New Brunswick, valid for 90 days, and should be in the hands of the church office at least two weeks in advance. 4. Preparation for marriage will explore the Christian concept of marriage and assist the couple in their reflection on the life-long commitment they are about to make. 5. The officiant reserves the right not to perform the marriage if at any time an impediment becomes known. 6. The governing principle in the selection of music is that, in accordance with Canon XXI, it reflect the religious nature of the ceremony. The Cathedral organist will approve what music will be used in the church. 7. Christian marriage requires demonstration of the religious commitment of the bride and bridegroom. Marriage in the Church is understood in its Christian context and not as a social convenience. One way of demonstrating Christian commitment is by attending public worship in a way that is consistent with the teachings of the Church. 8. The participation of other clergy is at the discretion of the Dean of Fredericton. Arrangements for additional clergy as well as for the organist is the responsibility of the couple. Photographs taken during the ceremony are only at the discretion of the officiant. Arrangements for photos following the service can be made.
