Each couple must give notice . Giving notice means making a legal declaration that you are both free to marry each other or form a civil partnership and you will need to provide certain documents and prove this when doing so .
Although you may have a civil ceremony in any district within England and Wales , you must give notice to the Registrar in the district where you live .
When you wish to give formal notice you will need to make an appointment at the appropriate office and it will take approximately half an hour to an hour to complete .
