What happens if one of us has been divorced?

It is possible for you to be married by banns or licence if you or your intended has been previously married and the former spouse is still alive.

However, the minister is not obliged to officiate at the wedding or allow the church or chapel to be used for the marriage. You should contact the minister to discuss this. He or she will want to learn about the previous marriage and its breakdown and have a discussion with the Bishop before deciding whether or not to officiate at the wedding.
