Catholic ceremony in CofE church? Or Catholic blessing?

Hello

I hope you can help me.

I am Church of England and my fiance is Catholic. We wish to marry in a Church of England church in the parish in which I grew up – it is where I was christened and made my confirmation. However, my fiances’ Mother has asked if it is possible for a Catholic Priest to conduct the service in our chosen Church, or if this is not possible, to have a Catholic Priest bless us during the wedding service.
Is this something that is possible? What would be the C of E opinion on this? I do not wish to cause any insult to the Vicar at the church by asking, nor do I want to jeopardise the service taking place in the church of our choice by asking.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi Sarah

    An Anglican Vicar is a registrar and would therefore need to conduct the service – though people often request for a Minister from a different church to take part in the service. I’m sure you’ll be able to negotiate something that keeps everyone happy.

    warm regards
