BEFORE APPLYING TO GET MARRIED IN ORPC
All couples who wish to be solemnised by an ORPC pastor and/or hold their marriage solemnisation in ORPC must apply in writing to the Session.
The following are the minimum criteria before Session will make a decision:
Both parties must be active baptised/confirmed Christians. 
Baptism/Membership certificates should be attached to the application form.
At least one party must be an ORPC active communicant member for a minimum of one year.* 
The couple must have completed the Marriage Preparation Class held at ORPC at least six months before the planned date of marriage.**
The couple must have completed pre-marriage counselling with the officiating minister.
Both parties should not have been divorced.
* ORPC reserves the right to talk to the church of the non-ORPC member about him/her for the purposes of marriage preparation.
** For cases that do not meet criteria 3 for special reasons, please speak to the ORPC pastor officiating the marriage. 

Note that:
ORPC solemniser reserves the right not to solemnise the couple – the decision of the solemniser will be final.
The officiating minister should be the preacher delivering the wedding exhortation.
ALL bookings of church facilities (if applicable) are tentative until the final approval from Session is given.
