Dear Resident Reverend, My fiance and I live in Bristol and are planning to get married this summer at a venue licensed for civil ceremonies in Cheltenham. I had hoped that we would be able to have a wedding blessing or ‘service of prayer and dedication’ immediately after the civil ceremony (at the same venue),...

Daytime weddings usually mean long, floaty dresses, pastel-coloured sunhats and kitten heels – but what should you wear if you’ve been asked to attend the evening event only? Many of the other guests won’t have had a chance to change, so unless the invitation specifically states white tie, black tie or formal then it’s best...
