Within your own union, you make up the rules, what you do and agree to mutually is up to you as long as you stay within the realms of the law but, in times of Covid19, you are restricted when getting married!
The places where you can have your ceremony are public venues such as a hotel, registry office or a place of worship. It is also possible to arrange your wedding, Civil Ceremony in and outside, private place like a garden outside your home if it is suitable for social distancing.
The number of people who can attend depends on the level of restrictions in place at the time of the ceremony so be careful to check the updates regularly. The number of people depends on the protection level where you’re getting married.
