The project is attempting to indentify suitable sites for this purpose.</p><p> </p><p>Should a same-sex couple from the Armed Forces wish to get married in a military Chapel they must follow the rules surrounding the marriage of same sex couples (Military or Civilian) in Military chapels, which are laid out in 'The Marriage of Same Sex Couples (Use of Armed Forces' Chapels) Regulations 2014'. At present none of the Churches that send Chaplains to the Armed Forces have opted into the provision of marriage for same-sex couples.
