Congrats on your upcoming marriage! I have a high view of marriage—and therefore a high view of wedding ceremonies—seeing them as a sacred covenant before God and with His people. I believe weddings should be both reverent and celebratory: a meaningful commitment between a bride and groom, God, and community. It’s an honor to be a part of your ceremony.

As a pastor at Bridgetown Church, I’m committed to live out our church’s beliefs, practices, and policies around marriage and weddings. These guidelines apply to any wedding conducted under Bridgetown’s authority, at any venue, by any authorized person associated with Bridgetown.

To help us prepare well, please take 5 minutes now to review the checklist below. There are a few things I’ll need you to read and a few things to complete. The link below includes everything you’ll need for a smooth, meaningful ceremony as well as some preparation for the lifelong journey of marriage.

As we communicate, please email me at christian@christiangdawson.com and include both spouses on all wedding-related messages. That helps me keep everything in one place (not my phone) and ensures nothing gets missed.

I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

-Christian
