Time and place of meeting for worship
Where one or other of the parties has associations with another church or religious body and wishes to be married according to the procedure of that body as well as by Friends' usage, this may be done in accordance with the law in England & Wales, but only if both legal ceremonies take place separately on the same day. In all other respects, the normal procedure, including registration, should be undertaken, and the two separate legal ceremonies must not be seen to be combined in any way. However, care is needed to ensure that those being so married are in sympathy with Friends' testimony as described in 16.01-16.02. (See 16.07-16.08, 16.13 & 16.18.)
