Data protection notice: The data controller is the Minister of the parish and the PCC of Melksham Team Ministry, who will use the information on this form to ensure that the legal requirements relating to the marriage are complied with and to make arrangements for your banns to be called. The Minister and PCC will only share the information with those who need to see it for those purposes. Full details in our Privacy Notice.

Notes

† If either of you will not be 18 by the proposed date of the wedding, the priest will need to know whether the consent of parents or guardians has been obtained.

†† If you aren't sure which Church of England parish you live in, enter your postcode at achurchnearyou.com and look for the church flagged "This is the parish church". If either of you live in a different parish from where you're getting married, you'll need to arrange for the banns to be read there too.

At least seven days' notice is required before the first reading of banns.
