My partner and I are due to get married next year, I have provisioanlly booked the service at an Anglican church. We do not live within the parish of this church but have enough time to worship regularly and become mebers of the congregation. HOWEVER the worry I now have is that my partner has not been christened, but I have as a baby. A friend told me that we wont be able to marry in a christian church if he is not christened (I don't think he wants to get christened either!) Is this true?

Dear Kelster

I believe that it is enough for one of you to be baptised, but I suggest that you talk to the minister who will be conducting the service, who will be able to advise you.

Hope your plans go well
