Hi. :hideingbhindcurtian:

First, I must apologise: It's 5am and I'm quite ill, and I've sent myself silly trying to find the answer to a question which you probably get asked all the time, but I'm finding a lot of conflicted views, some of which are years old. So...

As a ULC Minister, could I legally officiate weddings in England?

Sorry if this is the millionth time this has been asked. :doh:

And now to get some sleep. :sleepysmileyanim:

Well, as we have many ULC ministers already there, I'm assuming marriages can be performed. Now, whether the unions are legal, I don't know. Perhaps one of our fine brothers can pipe in a response on this.

Btw, hope you're feeling better by the time of reading this post.

Blessings and peace to you.

Mark, please don't conflate England with the entire UK. The law in Scotland is different, and AFAIK it is possible but difficult - essentially you have to have an established church organisation and congregation, then get registered. For a one-shot option, see http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/registration/getting-married-in-scotland/we-would-like-a-family-friend-to-solemnise-our-marriage
