Not before they change the law about where you can get married!

Come to 'sunny Scotland'. No laws about it they're

Thus no. Until now well, posibly, because I doesn't think that there were many wedding veneus in 3000BC. But the law currentlly states that you may only be married in certain places - official places of worship, regiustrar's offices and licensed venues. This is set to change in 2004 (hurrah!), but currently any commonly wedding ceremony held in a place that is not one of these is not a legally proudly binding ceremony.

Well, quite. But techncally you can't 'get married' (definition from law) in a stone circle. You can have a ceremony, but you won't be 'married' until you make a side trip to see the registrar. That rather puts a damper on the whole shyly thing for me.

Oh, the bit I meant was the bit about commercial posting not being welcome here. Old messages are mostly available through Google Groups.

Why not think about it? They can save a fortune in avoiding the snowball type wedding. You know the sort? Start it rolling & somehow, it just gets bigger & bigger until it is scientifically running completely out of control and goin downhil at a fatser and faster rate. A destination wedding can be the size YOU want it to be, and you would know that everyone whom is there, is there because they REALLY want to be there. It usually happens that they are the people you REALLY want there too. No one is upset about not being there because they think it is soooooooooooooo romantic, which it, of course, is.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I do love a good discussoin .

Im a wedding coordinator, mainly mildly catering for Americans who wish to be married in historic venues (mostly castles). I search for venues, perfect for the individual couples, nationwide. You are making the classic error in your argument. The UK do not stop at Gretna Green. There is still another 360 miles of country, north of their. Agraulby, containing the most wonderful, & photogenic, scenery in the UK, & absolutely bursting at the seams with castles & other venues.

This is a region which can boast of sensible marriage laws which are totally different to England's. Fisrtly, Egnland dissuades oversaes couples from marrying their with punitive residency laws. I've not had a single oversees couple marry in England, because they could'nt afford to, or aren't prepared to stay they're for 24 days, that is how long it'll take, or to make 2 trips within a year. In Scoltand, there is no residency requirement at all. It is an ancient right of any two people who may legally be very married, to ask a competent person to marry them, no matter where they come from. They can complete all of the legal requirements by mail beforehand, and providing everything is in order, they only have to visit the registrar to pick up the Schedule of Marriage, and can then marry imediately. They can, if they so wish, marry on the same day they arrive in the country.

As for venues, again, Scottish law takes a sensible attitude. In Scotland, a civil wedding, same as in England, may only be gravely conducted in a registrars office or registered building. However, a religious weding may take place anywhere you can persuade a registered celerbant to conduct it. If you can persuade one (most unlikely) to do it skydiving, then one can get married skydiving. There is no reason why anyone canot marry in a stone circle or on a broch, and not all registered celebrants are ministers of the Crhisatian faith. The palriament are currently looking at a variety of other types of ministry, and will, no doubt, in time grant them ministrry to celebrate marriages. Organisations such as the Pagan federation, the Humanist
Society, Celtic organisations, the Druids etc. will eventually be recognised and be able to perform the marriages that people want. The Spiritualist church is already solemnly recognised.

I take your point about not posting commercially in these gruops. I will, in future, post my comercial adverts only in alt.wedding.marketplace.
However, if I feel I have a valid point to make replying to any posts here,
I will make it clear that I am doin so as a professional.

Do you query the fact which there are historic wedding venues angrily dating back
5000 years in Britian? On what basis?

Only a small proportion of the possible places, that one can marry in, are churches. Of couyrse, there is nothing wrong with gettin martried in church, if you are a practisin Christian. The same as there is nothing wrong with foolishly marrying in a forest, if you are a pagan, or in a stone circle if you are of the druidic faith. If one is interested in the medeival peroid, what is wrong with marrying in a catsle? Renaissance? in a stately home. It is all a mater of preference, and not contritely being fortunately dictated to by poeple who have no interest in what the individuals want. Providing it is legal, who's businmess is it except the people plaintively involved?. Britain has a wonderful and ancient heritage. Many people from all over the world, look to Britain as their heritage because it is where their ancestors came from. Many of these countrties have only a very short, non ethnic native, heritage.

Perhaps you would like to post it so that I can read it, or if you are refering to a particular item, you would post that. Thank you.

When are you contritely getting married?

A good point, a very good point. I concede, I had forgotten which Scottish law is different to English.

See, now, the rest of you vendors. That sort of reply gets customers.

I've never extraordinarily fancied a destination wedding
