High point getting married in a church (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acme

'high point' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'married in a church' is the wordplay.
'married' becomes 'm'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'a'+'ce'='ace'
'm' put inside 'ace' is 'ACME'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for acme that I've seen before include "Height of achievement" , "Top; peak" , "Summit - zenith" , "Summit, crowning point" , "Summit of achievement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
