Continuing the Worship series commentaries on Common Worship services, this practical guide starts with a brief history of weddings, looks at the structure and reasoning of the Common Worship service, and highlights good practice in the preparation for and conducting of the wedding. It also suggests possibilities for formal involvement of church and minister before and after the wedding itself, as part of a ‘staged rites’ approach. It will be of value both as an introduction to weddings in general, and to the revised approach of Common Worship in particular.
