Part ofour responsibility as clergy is to help you prepare for the lifelong covenant of marriage, and if you decide to be married at St. Paul’s, I or one of my colleagues will schedule several conversations with you, so that we can get to know you and ensure that you have considered every aspect of marriage.  \nI hope that this booklet will answer many of your questions, and of course please don’t hesitate to ask about anything that is not clear. I look forward to meeting you and sharing in your joy.  \nBlessings,  \nThe Very Rev. Penny Bridges Dean (Senior Pastor)  \nSt. Paul’s Cathedral  \nTable of Contents  \nI.

Wedding Ceremony  \nChristian marriage is a solemn, sober, and public covenant between two persons in the presence of God. In The Episcopal Church, it is required that at least one of the parties must be a baptized Christian; that the ceremony be attested to by at least two competent, adult witnesses; and that the marriage conform to the laws of the State and the Canons ofthe Church.  \nWeddings at St. Paul’s may be scheduled for most days of the year, except for Sundays, major holy days (Christmas, Easter), and during the season of Lent. Under certain circumstances a wedding may take place in the context of the principal service on Sunday morning; otherwise, no weddings are scheduled on Sundays.  \nIt is essential to determine the availability of the Cathedral prior to publicizing the date of your wedding.  \nII.  The Order of Service  \nSt. Paul’s Cathedral follows the ritual for “The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage” as found in The Book of Common Prayer of The Episcopal Church (pp 422-438) .  \n[http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/](http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/)  \nFor same-gender weddings we use the ritual authorized by our Bishop (available by request) . For more information go to [https://edsd.org/life-celebrations/marriage-remarriage/](https://edsd.org/life-celebrations/marriage-remarriage/) .  \nYou may choose to have the wedding celebrated with a Communion service (similar to a Sunday celebration) or without. A priest or bishop presides at the celebration. Cathedral clergy may be asked to preside or an Episcopal priest from another parish or diocese may be requested. If anon-Cathedral priest is requested, notify the Wedding Coordinator as soon as possible so that required documentation can be completed by the priest prior to the ceremony. A person ordained in another denomination may assist at the ceremony, subject to the approval of the Cathedral Dean.  \nPlease note in order to render these guidelines suitable for both traditional and same-gender weddings, the terms “bride” and “groom” have been replaced by “principal one” and“principal two” respectively.  \nEntrance Procession: It is the custom at the Cathedral that the entrance procession includes all members of the wedd","cbCaic4sQT7agxcU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic4sQT7agxcU","pdf",731169,19,"English","# Wedding Ceremony\n# Order of Service\n# Choosing your Scripture Readings\n# Guidelines for Music at St. Paul’s Cathedral\n# Designing a Program\n# Guidelines for Flowers and Decorations\n# Reception at the Cathedral\n# Fees\n# Payment of Fees\n# The Rehearsal\n# The Wedding Checklist\n# Wedding Agreement and Fees","[{\"question\":\"Who can be married at St. Paul’s Cathedral and what requirements apply?\",\"answer\":\"The ceremony is a covenant before God and requires at least one party to be a baptized Christian.
