I have a friend who had to get herself Christened 15 years ago when she was 27, as the Vicar wouldnt marry her without it. Nicky |

They may have decided for themselves that they wanted a service....much like some youngsters today are confirmed about that age............. but it may be that they were leaving home and the family thought of it as a 'safeguard' against anything bad happening to the young person. Some vicars required baptism before he would allow a couple to marry in his church. Gwyn |
