Weddings are wonderful celebrations!
A church wedding performed by a minister is similar to a civil wedding performed by a marriage commissioner—both services must meet the legal requirements of the Province of British Columbia and must be registered with the Department of Vital Statistics. But in a church wedding, the spiritual dimension of marriage is as important as the legal.
You are welcome to be married at Alberni Valley United Church onsite or off-site whether you are part of the congregation or not; whether you have been married before; whether you and your partner have different religious backgrounds; whether you are different genders or not.
