| Planning a Christian
Wedding Service
at First Presbyterian Church
First Presbyterian Church is pleased that you wish to celebrate
your wedding with a Christian service of worship. We are eager
to help in your understanding of marriage and the commitments
you are about to make.
Our Wedding Booklet is now
available in Adobe Acrobat online and can be saved or printed
right from this website. It is also available in print from
the church office. This packet of information reflects the
current policies of First Presbyterian Church and is intended
for couples to read together and discuss. You will need

Contained in this packet is information concerning:
- Who may be married at First Presbyterian Church of Wheaton
- Dates and times
- The role of the pastor
- Our policy on marriage preparation and counseling
- Wedding Coordinators
- The Marriage License
- Music
- Further Guidelines for Planning your Wedding and Reception

At First Presbyterian Church we believe it is important
to place
this material in the proper context. As the words of
the wedding
ceremony describe it, we believe that “marriage is
given by God,
blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ, and sustained by
the Holy Spirit.”
We believe that a Christian wedding ceremony should
always enhance
our affirmation of the reality of God, and our guidelines
are
offered with that in mind.
