You might have to Bren, word is it's going to be painted.

Trust me - vicar's never do! I worked as an administrator for 12 years for a CofE church until 18 months ago, so unless it's changed in that time, he's wrong!

Sorry but that's not quite accurate. In CofE you are legally entitled to be married in your parish church provided you meet the legal requirements, all other offices are at the vicar's discretion. Don't forget that if you don't want to make those vows, you can have a blessing or thanksgiving service instead to introduce the baby.

'S'alright Quids, I've got your back! I'm with him on this. Parents and Godparents make a huge, solemn vow to reject the Devil and turn to Christ. No priest wants you to perjure yourself in church in front of witnesses, so it's incumbent on him to make sure you understand what you are promising and with the help of Godparents, friends and family, agree to bring up the child in the Christian faith. That's not implying perfection - none of us can achieve that - but you are agreeing to make a stab at it. There is also the cynical side to all this: some parents want to get their children into faith schools and will cavalierly have their children baptised to achieve this. By asking for a six month regular commitment, it does weed out all but the hardy!

Mimi dear, what did you think when Roy Wood left? Was 'Blackberry' still the same?

In practice, if you don't have a charity number, a lot of 'perks' are not available.
