How often do you have to attend church to "habitually worship" there?

DP would like to get back to church and so would I. We're also planning on getting married. We've previously attended our local parish church but didn't like it for various reasons and haven't attended anywhere for about 8 months. We know you can't marry in a church outside your parish unless you've habitually worshipped there for at least 6 months. How often is habitually worshipped though? Due to us both having quite complex health conditions there's no way we'd be able to attend any church every Sunday so we're just a bit worried about what would count.

Ideally we'd like to get married in a church that means something to us. We know God is everywhere and we know the ceremony itself is essentially the same whichever church you go for (of the same denomination of course) but church to us is also about community if that makes sense so we'd like to marry in a church we feel part of.

Do you have to have habitually worshipped there for 6 months before booking anything or is it just that you can't have the actual ceremony until then? We're not in a rush for the ceremony and are looking at next summer but we'd like to start booking things in the next few months due to everything else we'd have to organise (mostly our honeymoon Grin )
