Timetable and Checklist
If you or your partner lives in the parish of St. Mary's or if one of you regularly takes part in Mass here then you are eligible to be married in the Cathedral. If both of you are free to marry in the Catholic Church then this is the usual timetable:

• Meet with one of the priests to set a firm date and time for your wedding. A £40 deposit is required.
• Make the necessary legal arrangements with the Registrar of Marriages.
• Contact the Cathedral Organist and also the Cathedral Flower Arrangers.
• Obtain up-to-date Baptism Certificates.
• One of the priests completes the Prenuptial Enquiry with you.
• Take part in the Marriage Preparation Course.
• At least three months before the wedding, contact the priest to arrange your wedding liturgy (i.e. readings, hymns, prayers, intercessions, etc.).
• At least four weeks before your wedding finalise the arrangements with the priest and pay the required fees.
