Guthrie Castle provides you with everything you will need on that special day making you only worry about showing up. You will be advised from the wedding tips to the legal papers and work that you need to do to make certain that every will work out well.

Couples are advised to get a hold of a marriage notice form that can be acquired from the Registrars office or can be downloaded from the official government site of Scotland at www.gro-scotland.gov.uk. By doing this, couples are certain that neither of them is tied by another marriage and this has to be done four to six weeks before the wedding is done.
Throughout the United Kingdom and the British Crown dependencies, a person can get married at the legal age of 16. Some countries ask for parental consent for minors who are planning to get married. Marriages in Scotland require both the couple to be 16 years old so as not to need a parental consent. Couples should not also be related with each other if they do not want their marriage to be null and void. You must both me unmarried and if either has been previously married, the party involved should provide certain documents making sure that the previous marriage is not recognized by the courts anymore. Couples are also given the ultimatum to prove that they are not of the same sex and both are capable of understanding the nature, rights and responsibilities of being married and of the ceremony that will take place. If the couple lives outside the United Kingdom, their marriage in Scotland must be regarded as valid in their respective country. This will not be a problem since most countries do recognize marriages in Scotland legal.
