#UKWedLunch – Wednesday 21st February 2018
As well as general wedding planning chat, today there will be about local marriage requirements #UKWedLunch
TOP TIP 1: You need to give notice of marriage in your local registration district. If you and your partner live in different areas, you will both need to give notice in your own district. #UKWedLunch
TOP TIP 2: You can get married in a church, registry office or an approved venue. Or you could choose a legal service followed by a celebratory ceremony (if your venue is not licensed for ceremonies) #UKWedLunch
TOP TIP 3: If you’re using a celebrant then there’s no restrictions when it comes to location (as long as you have permission from the land owner) nor temperature, or time of day! #UKWedLunch
TOP TIP 4: To give notice of marriage in a registration office, you must have lived in that district for minimum of seven days. The earliest notice of marriage can be given is 12 months before. Normally, 28 clear days’ notice is required. #UKWedLunch
TOP TIP 5: You will be asked to produce evidence of your full name, nationality, age and proof of current address plus evidence of marital status #UKWedLunch
TOP TIP 6: Two registrars will attend a civil wedding: one to conduct the ceremony and the other to register your marriage. You need two adults to be your witnesses – friends or relatives over the age of 16 and able to understand English. #UKWedLunch
