In the UK, unless you get married in a Church of England church, you are required by law to have a civil ceremony – either as part of the service, or at some time before. This is because a wedding performed in a religious institution other than the Church of England is not legally binding. Because our church service is already looking to be quite long (with a Greek part and an English part), we have decided to have our civil ceremony before our church wedding.
Because we consider our marriage to be something instituted by God, we won’t consider ourselves married until after the church ceremony.
And so... without any further ado:
Adam and Kate are being “legally wed” today, in our civil ceremony!
These are the first steps in our week-and-a-half wedding (concluding on the 6th of October)!
Adam and Kate

A week and a half wedding now that is getting greedy. I know you Adam you just want to open more gifts. Sorry I could not be over there, but only just getting back from Japan 8 weeks ago is pushing it. I hope to get over there sometime though. GL for the wedding.
