Church Wedding in U.K

Hi again, sorry i keep littering this forum with questions but your all so very helpfull !   Has anybody ever been married in a church in England?. I'm from the U.K and my fiance is from the U.S and we plan to marry here once she applies for her fiance visa, she's catholic and I'm Church of England. Could anybody please tell me the process of being married in a church? would i have to convert to catholicism or could we get married in a church of England without neither of us converting? Is there any restrictions of foreign nationals to be married in a church over here? if anybody has had any experience in this situation, I'd be more than gratefull to here your stories !
Thank you !

A quick google provides this about the Catholic Church, but it sounds like it does need to be your parish church, not just any Catholic Church you happen to like the look of.

Well that would be rather difficult! It's the parish of one of the couple - it would be rather restrictive for them to enforce it for both!

Hello!
We looked into this too! We wanted to get married in CoE with me being english and my fiance being a USC. I believe you can get married in CoE if you are catholic (not 100% on that one!) You will have to get married in either your parish church or the parish church where your parents live. That doesnt apply to your fiance as she is a USC so won't technically have a parish yet.

What it does mean however is that you cannot get married by Banns (where the vicar reads out your intention to marry for the 3 weeks leading up to the wedding to see if anyone has any objection) Instead you will have to apply for a common license from the bishop of the diocese (your vicar will be able to give you all the details) and you apply for that 3 months before the wedding.

In the end me and my fiance got married in the US with our church ceremony changing to a blessing (in 4 weeks eeeek) so we didnt follow the process to the end.

If i were you i would book an appointment with your church to talk it all through, they will tell you exactly what you need to do

Also, some vicars may be more lenient than others, so definitely worth having a word and the sooner the better depending on when you plan to get married in order to book the church and meet the C of E requirements.   

This was initially going to be our plan as I'm Catholic and DH is C of E, but we never ended up doing a church wedding (as my family refused to come to England for wedding), DH & I were unable to complete the Pre Cana requirements by my parish so we went with a Unitarian Minister in the woods in the states and haven't looked back since (nearly 5 years).  We would eventually love to get a church blessing at DH's parish, but have no immediate plans as of yet, although our daughter is now baptised C of E, but that's another story altogether.   

Good luck!
