Where To Elope in the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is made up of four different regions, also referred to as countries. These are Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales. This gives plenty of choice when it comes to choosing a UK elopement. It is worth noting that Scotland has different marriage laws to the rest of the United Kingdom and that is one of the reasons why it became the birthplace of elopements in 1757 when young couples would flee across the border from England to get married in the famous Gretna Green! However, there are plenty of beautiful places across the UK – in all four territories – where couples can plan an elopement!
