In the first instance, contact the Minister. If you are currently a member of another church and wish advice on how to transfer your membership, the minister will tell you how to do that. If you wish to become a church member for the first time, the minister will arrange to meet with you regarding this.
The Minister will be happy to let you have details, if you would like to have your wedding service at
Elie. It is not necessary to be a member of the Church to be married at
Elie.
What about your wedding anniversary? Have either of you thought about going to a church on or near your wedding anniversary, either here at Elie Church or the church you were married in? Wherever you go, the church can offer prayers of thanks for your marriage and be there to celebrate with you. A silver anniversary is an important occasion and going to a church is adviced. And for those looking for something for the happy family - these presents at 25thweddinganniversarygifts.co.uk can make the celebration even more special.
