The Church of England offers three Marriage Services:
Church of England - Weddings
Book of Common Prayer (1662) - In traditional language
Marriage Service from Common Worship 2000 [Open The Marriage] - In modern language, and reflecting the current Christian understanding of marriage. The Common Worship marriage service offers the most flexibility in the choice of readings and prayers, but in all three, you can be involved in choosing hymns and other music, for the service.
Book of Common Prayer (Alternative Services: Series One) - A modified version of the Book of Common Prayer service, (1966)
