Weddings at Peace UMC

THE CHRISTIAN SERVICE OF MARRIAGE
At Peace UMC weddings are occasions of both joy and reverence—joy because of the gifts of love and happiness that the bride and groom have found in each other, and reverence because of the deep commitment they have made to live out their vows under the grace of God.

THE SERVICE
A wedding at Peace UMC is an act of worship. It is appropriate for the service to include special music, hymns, Scripture readings and other sacred readings, and a brief message by the minister. The officiating clergy will review the order of service and appropriate options with the couple.

LICENSE
It is important that you verify all information with your local marriage license office or county clerk before making any wedding plans. A wedding at Peace UMC cannot take place without a valid marriage license. Please bring the license with you at the time of the rehearsal.

DRESSING FACILITIES FOR THE BRIDE
A dressing room is available for the bride and her bridesmaid’s use on the day of the wedding. The groom and all other members of the wedding party are encouraged to arrive dressed. Facilities are provided for final grooming
