The Registrar’s Office for the Parish of Markinch is in Albany House, Glenrothes.
(Telephone number 01592 414900)
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.
Six weeks before your wedding both
parties should arrange to see the
Minister to discuss the final details of
the service and the rehearsal. At the
rehearsal the bride, groom, best man,
bridesmaid(s) and the bride’s father
should be present.
IMPORTANT: The Marriage Schedule
must be brought to the Church by the
bridegroom on the day of the rehearsal
After the wedding ceremony, you need
to return the marriage schedule to the
Registrar
The schedule is signed during the
service by the bride and groom, (the
bride uses her maiden name), the
minister and the two witnesses. It must
be returned to the Registrar within 3
days of the wedding ceremony.
How soon after my wedding will I
receive the marriage certificate?
You will receive this by post, usually
within the month.
Music in the Church
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.
Photographs
in the Church
Please advise your photographer and guests that flash photographs are not allowed during the marriage service. A video may be taken from a fixed, unobtrusive point, the
location of the camera must be discussed with the Minister beforehand.
Flowers in the Church
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.
Fees
Church Wedding
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.
