Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage!
Whether you’re dreaming of a church wedding or well into the planning already, we are here to help and support you.
You are able to marry in Bedhampton Parish if you have a significant connection with our parish. The main ones are that at least one of you resides in the Parish of Bedhampton or is on our Church’s Electoral Roll.
To check that you live in our Parish, type your Post Code into the “A Church Near You” website.
If any of the following apply:
- You were confirmed in our church.
- You were baptised (christened) in our church.
- You have previously lived in the parish for at least six months.
- You have attended public worship in our church for at least six months.
- A parent of either of you has lived in the parish for at least six months.
- A parent of either of you has attended public worship in our church for at least six months.

There are additional ways in which you may be able to get married in our church:
If none of these significant connections applies to you it may still be possible to be married by Special Licence. Further information can be obtained by seeing the Rector
If either of you is divorced it may still be possible to get married at St Thomas’ but it will depend on individual circumstances – please meet with the Rector to explore this.
