Celebrating Love at St. Francis

There’s something profoundly sacred about two people standing before God, their loved ones, and the Church, promising to journey through life together. In the Episcopal tradition, marriage is understood as a sacrament, a holy covenant—a gift from God, that reflects Christ’s love for the Church and calls us into deeper communion with one another and with our Creator.

At St. Francis in-the-Field, we consider it a joy and privilege to walk alongside couples as they prepare for this significant milestone. Whether you’ve been part of our community for years or are just beginning to explore the Episcopal Church, we welcome you. Our approach to wedding preparation emphasizes not just planning a beautiful ceremony, but nurturing the spiritual foundation that will sustain your marriage through all of life’s seasons.

The Episcopal wedding liturgy is both timelessly beautiful and deeply meaningful, grounded in Scripture and shaped by centuries of Christian tradition. It’s a service that invites the whole community to witness and support your covenant, while offering space for your unique love story to shine through in readings, music, and personal touches that reflect who you are as a couple.

Our clergy are here to guide you through every step—from initial conversations about marriage preparation to crafting a ceremony that honors both the tradition we cherish and the particular gift of your relationship. We’ll help you understand the theology of Christian marriage, explore what it means to build a life centered on faith, and prepare for the joys and challenges that lie ahead.
