Change marriage law in England/Wales from registered buildings to celebrants.

Petition Details

The Scots system of registered celebrants is very much simpler than the English and Welsh system of registered buildings, and it also affords greater flexibility to couples.

Additional Information

Currently in England and Wales couples must choose either a religious service in a church, or a wholly secular service in secular building, where they are not allowed anything even vaguely religious including music. Under the Scots system couples can choose any venue in which a celebrant is willing to conduct a marriage service, and a religious or civil ceremony. This means that couples can choose a religious ceremony in a greater choice of venues, and administration is simpler (and probably cheaper).
