Any single person over the age of 16 can marry in Britain. In England or Wales, you have to meet certain statutory residency requirements, which generally means living for at least 15 days prior in the district or parish where the marriage is to take place. In Scotland, there are no such requirements. Recently there has been a change in law regarding places to marry, and now you can tie the knot in a castle, a stately home, hotel and a whole range of unusual venues, although not in a private home or in the open air.
Castles are also very popular venues.
