They are the first to greet me; they hang around with their friends; they nervously twiddle buttons and re-set their kilts; they check I have the vows printed; once they had to go and fetch the rings because they thought the best man had them and vice versa!; they shuffle; their eyes dart about - then when we start, they turn around and see the partner of their dreams and relax and some even shed a tear.

It isn't just about ceremonies in the UK. Some couples find a celebrant and then trust them to build a ceremony for them in the destination of their choice. Sure, it costs more, but thisis a day to live forever in your heart and mind. In my own life, I know that finding the right person for the task is worth a little extra investment.

An excellent document from Give Couples a Choice.
The legal framework governing marriage in England and Wales is widely acknowledged as outdated, restrictive and unfit for modern society. The current law, largely based on the Marriage Act 1836 and subsequent amendments, imposes rigid distinctions between
religious and civil ceremonies and places emphasis on approved venues.
Most significantly, there are rigid requirements regarding where a wedding can be held and who can officiate. Civil weddings must take place in approved premises under the authority
of a registrar, while belief-based weddings can only be legally conducted by authorised ministers or religious personnel, and generally only in registered places of worship. This system severely limits the freedom of couples to hold a marriage ceremony that reflects their values.
However, this is all set to change. In 2022, the Law Commission of England and Wales published its final report on wedding law reform, proposing a comprehensive shift in approach to create a more inclusive legal framework for marriage (Law Commission, 2022).
Among its key recommendations is a shift to regulating officiants rather than venues.
Crucially, this opens the door to the legal recognition of a broader range of wedding ceremonies, including those conducted by non-religious belief officiants (for example, humanist celebrants) and by independent celebrant. Full document here
