Lent Blog 6: The Wedding Project

Went to a brilliant presentation today about research into Church of England weddings. Good information, challenging ideas, excellent resources and a useful website. Wish all in-service training was that good. Look for yourself at http://www.yourchurchwedding.org

Not really a Lenten theme, but certainly gave me a few preparation thought for the coming year.

Wedding records

I note that my good friend Steve has blogged about his personal wedding-taking records. (It's a vicar thing) Thought I might join in:

Most weddings in one day: 5. (4 at St Mary's, Greasley and 1 at Sawley)

Most Welsh wedding (briodas): Pontfadog. Croeso.

The other day I had the pleasure of taking the wedding of two former students - Rachel and Richard - at Potton. At an hour and half it was one of the longer weddings I have been involved in, but then we included a special longer entry of the bride, communion for everyone and plenty of good music from a CU/church/friends all-stars band. We had a great time

Doing a wedding on a Thursday was a first (I think I've only done Saturdays and Sundays before).
