Same sex marriage in the UK for foreigners on vacation
While visiting our friends in the UK on vacations and would like to get married there, but neither of us are citizens of the UK.
Does the UK allow same sex marriage for two foreigners on vacation there? I found information that citizens allowed for same-sex marriage in the UK, but it is unclear if it possible to get married there in case we are both non-citizens (citizens for some other country, not the UK)?
How long should it take to do that (if there any waiting period between applying for marriage licenses): you have to have lived in the registration district for min 7 days before giving notice and you must give min 15 days notice before the marriage.
