Marriage documents are an artificial construct of the 16th century and are not referred to in the Bible. Two people who live together for their whole life without a piece of paper are more fortunate than those who have the piece of paper and discover that they're in the wrong relationship.

Mike, all humans fart at least 8 times a day. On a balance they do it in church as well. I'm sure I must have as I have spent a seemingly inordinate anount of time in churches and Christian services - only 3 this year I'm afraid so I won't be at the top table and nor will the hypocrites who are there every week and preach morality without love and compassion to or for their fellow men.

People who fart in church are always invited back. The invite to the Lord's supper is universal and eternal for all those who believe. Farting doesn't remove faith nor does it remove the right to attend any Church of England service at any time a person wishes since nobody can be excluded from the state church, ever. As those who know realise this means you may attend a confirmation, wedding, funeral or baptism at any CoE church without invite or notice. They are public ceremonies and nobody has the right to exclude anybody from them, farting or not.
