This form is the first step in planning your wedding at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. It helps us get to know you as a couple and begins the process of scheduling, preparation, and pastoral support.
If you've not already done so, make sure to review our Wedding Guidelines before completing this form.
After we review your form, someone from our staff will reach out to confirm details and guide you through the next steps, including scheduling a meeting with a priest and arranging for pre-marital preparation.
We’re honored to be part of your wedding journey!
Please read and be prepared to discuss and sign this Declaration at your first appointment with the clergy.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
We, (full name) and (full name), desiring to receive the blessing of Holy Matrimony in the Church, do solemnly declare that we hold marriage to be a lifelong union of two people as it is set forth in the Book of Common Prayer.
We believe that the union of two people, in heart, body, and mind, is intended by God for their mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity; and, when it is God’s will, for the procreation of children and their nurture in the knowledge and love of the Lord.
And we do engage ourselves, so far as in us lies, to make our utmost effort to establish this relationship and to seek God’s help thereto.
