Valentine sweethearts can tie the knot for free at a Chelmsford church. Romantic Rev Tim Ball, vicar of Holy Trinity
Springfield, believes that marriage is best. So he’s waiving the cost of
the service, the choir, the organist, the verger and the heating.
And the good news is that the offer will be available throughout the year.
“My church believes that marriage is best for couples, for children and for the community,” says big-hearted Tim.
“So we have put our money where our mouth is. We will pay all the costs of the service in the church. We are offering a free marriage service to parishioners because Holy Trinity is a good place to celebrate love and commitment.”
Marriages made in heaven don’t have to cost the earth. With the average cost of a wedding reported to be £21,000, couples can celebrate at a fraction of the cost by using the church hall and inviting their guests to bring a bottle.
