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!

Who Can Elope to the United Kingdom

While eloping to another country, you will expect to have a little more work to do, but eloping to the United Kingdom is one of the easier destinations that you can choose. You will need to apply for a Visa in order to get married in the UK and you need to give 28 days notice after being in residence in the country for a minimum of 7 days. Same sex marriage is legal in the United Kingdom. The full process for applying to marry in the UK can be found online, but keep in mind things could be a little different if you marry in Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Where to Elope in the United Kingdom

The United Kindgdom is full of great places to elope. Whether you are looking for a big city or a picturesque spot in the English countryside then you are sure to find something to suit your taste.
