Need advice??? English wedding but live in Scotland

Julia, 9 October, 2022 at 14:19 Posted on Planning 0 3
We live in Scotland, we want to get married at a venue in England & realised you have to have 9 days residency in England, I don’t know anyone in England to stay with, has anyone been in this position and what did you do?
Very annoying having to do 9 days in England for a holiday.

    Hi! We did this recently, and we did go and stay with a friend in England for 9 days. You have to get them to sign a letter (the registry office sends you the template) to say you've lived there for that time, and they have to give their own proof of address too to show they are the actual owner or tenant. So either you could ask one of your guests to stay (I'm sure they'd be really understanding) or theoretically you could find a sympathetic airbnb owner, or similar. Good luck Smiley smile

    Yes, you have to! So once you're in England, you're subject to the same rules as people who normally live in England - so you give notice where you're staying, even if that's not the same place as you're getting married Smiley smile
