Marriage

[rosamundjohn]

How do you get the forms for getting married in a registry office and what do you need?

[Tilly2]

Perhaps you have to visit the registry office and get them.

[murraymints]

Visit the registry office they will tell you all you need to know

[2sp_]

We had the Registrar come to our home to marry us. Just pop into your local office, they will give you forms and discuss what you need to provide.

[Graham-W]

You need to contact your local registry office at least 16 days before you would like to get married. They need to display the request for 15 days so people can object for some reason.
The will help you with forms etc.

I can't find anywhere where you can object for "illness and certain diseases" other than mental impairment.

[humbersloop]

I'd guess that covers mental incapacity graham
