Marriage

If you wish to marry in England or Wales, you may do so either by civil or religious ceremony.

A civil ceremony can take place in a register office or other building licensed for marriage ceremonies. The ceremony is conducted by a superintendent registrar and a registration officer. It must be of a strictly non-religious nature.

A religious ceremony can take place in a church, chapel or other building of religious worship which has been formally registered for marriage ceremonies. The service is conducted by the minister in accordance with the religious rites and ceremonies of the premises.
