Did you know that you need to complete a marriage notice form?

Both of you should fill out a marriage notice form and return them to the Registrar of the district in which you are to marry, along with the relevant documents and fees.

This site gives excellent advice regarding the procedures and the legal documentation required to marry anywhere in Northern Ireland.

It is extremely important that you fulfil the legal requirements; giving notice etc as we have found that although some couples have everything bought, hired and arranged for the day they neglect the required paperwork and the stress of realising at the last moment or, heaven forbid, too late can spoil things! Thanks.
