We both come from farming backgrounds (our parents run neighbouring farms) so, how perfect would it be to be able to say our vows in the middle of a corn field?!? Unfortunately English & Welsh laws don't allow open air weddings. The law states that a marriage ceremony venue must have a roof, be moored to its foundations, and be licenced by the local registrar. Outdated nonsense in my view!
So, now you know we're not getting married in a field... but why am I even bothering to share this information with you? Well, today I made a discovery on twitter in the form of @TheAnyCampaign who have set up a web petition to try and convince the government to relax the "no wedding without a roof" laws. As soon as I discovered them, I followed the link to their website and immediately signed the petition. So, if you or anyone you know wants something a bit different on their wedding day, go sign the petition!
If the laws are relaxed us Brits will finally be able to achieve the wedding day that we truly want instead of just drooling over the amazing weddings we see blogged about so often... Here's a few snippets of what we're missing out on...
