The Church guarantees that a designated priest will pray for the couple a week before the big day.

CoE spokeswoman The Rev Rosie Harper said: “If couples tell us what they’re worried about, we’ll remember them in our prayers in the run-up to their wedding. It demonstrates how we’re not just there for the big day, we’re there for them beforehand, and for their life together afterwards.”

The Church of England will have a stand at both events.

The UK Wedding Show takes place in Newcastle on January 30/31, and London on February 6/7.

The National Wedding Show will be in London from February 19 to 21, and Birmingham from March 5 to 7
