Weddings at St. Luke’s
Christian marriage is a rich blessing and weddings are indeed special at St. Luke’s. Our sanctuary, with its lovely stained glass windows and gothic architecture, is a beautiful place to pledge your lifelong commitment to one another and to the Lord in the presence of God, family and friends.
The service, "The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage," beginning on page 423 of the the Book of Common Prayer (1979), is the liturgical form used for weddings at St. Luke’s. The Episcopal Church has also developed a liturgy for "The Blessing of Same Sex Unions." The canon law of the church requires that at least one of the couple be a baptized Christian.
St. Luke’s weddings are always conducted by St. Luke’s clergy; however, other clergy may be invited to participate in the service with prior approval from the Rector. At least one member of the couple must be a member in good standing of St. Luke's.
We believe that adequate preparation is necessary for the success of a marriage. Premarital instruction is required of all couples as is an individual consultation with clergy.
Weddings are not scheduled for Sundays, during Lent, during Holy Week, and between Christmas and New Year's.
If you have questions, need to inquire about dates, or would like to arrange for premarital counseling, please contact Beth Elliott at 404-873-7610 or beth@stlukesatlanta.org.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
