\"\"<\/a>If you have recently become engaged, your thoughts may now be turning to planning a wedding.  In the Church of Scotland, ministers conduct marriage ceremonies for church members and for members of their families.  They also conduct weddings for those who live within their parish bounds.  If you are considering a wedding within Pathhead Parish Church please contact the minister via the church office<\/a> (01592 204635) to arrange an appointment with the minister.  He will guide you through the process and explain what marriage means within a Christian context.<\/p>\n

If you have previously been divorced this does not preclude the possibility of a church wedding.  However, the minister must be satisfied as to the circumstances surrounding any previous divorce.  Marriage brings many joys but it also brings many responsibilities and should not be undertaken lightly.  In Christian marriage there is an understanding that this  ought to be a  life-long commitment. <\/p>\n
