Getting Married
Please arrange the date and venue of your wedding as early as possible to ensure the Minister is available and you get the date and time you require.
Papers that need be completed and submitted to the Registrar for each person include:
Marriage Notice Form (M10) (available here)
Birth Certificates (original or certified copies.)
Divorce Papers, if applicable (Original Decree Absolute or certified copies)
Where do I submit these documents?
These need to be submitted to the Registrar closest to the location of your wedding ceremony (list of Registrars here).
Please contact the Registrar to make an appointment.
The Registrar’s Office for the Parish of Markinch is in Fife House, North Street, Glenrothes. KY7 5LT
Tel: 08451555555 ext. 444607

When do I need to submit the documents?
Documents need to be submitted to the area Registrar no sooner than 3 months prior to your wedding and no later than 15 days prior to your wedding. It is imperative that you apply within this timescale because if your papers are not with the Registrar 15 days before your wedding day, the Registrar is not obliged to process them and your wedding will not take place.
There are usually two hymns sung during the wedding service. Processional music is normally played while the bride enters and leaves the Church. The organist should be consulted in musical matters relating to your service. Our church organist would like to see you 12 weeks before your wedding to receive and listen to suggestions for your wedding music and hymns.
If you wish to leave your flowers in the Church after the service, our Flower Convenor will arrange for them to be distributed to the sick and / or elderly within the Parish. Please advise the Minister.
The minister will advise you of the all-inclusive fee for your wedding. This fee should be paid six weeks before the date of the wedding.
