Hi All,
I'm trying to find some help with regards to notices, but not succeeding so far, am surprised cos I can't be the only one! I am having a civil ceremony.
Basically, my fiance is originally from Scotland, where his parents still live and we both live in England.
According to the Scottish laws, we can send out notice forms and birth certificates up for them to prepare the marriage schedule, I have the option of sending in my notice to my local borough if I reallt want to, but I'm not going to as it's more time consuming and afew £ pounds more expensive.
But, when I called the local borough up, they insisted that I needed to do my notices there regardless where I'm getting married. The scottish office has insisted that I don't need to do this as long as we both send our notices in to Scotland.
Has anybody had any experiences of this and what did they do?
I did make an appointment with the local office, but I won't have the 21 days required (can't get a booking until too much time later) to get the Superintendant Register Certificate (15 days for notice and 6 days for some other admin reason), so I'm just keen to know that as long as I send my notices into Scotland I can get married?!
Thanks for your help!
