Wedding in the UK question
I'm not sure what category I should be posting in - but if anyone has any advice for me I'd greatly appreciate it...
I'm UK and USA dual citizen, living in the states for 10+ years. I'm engaged to an Aussie (temporarily in the states) and we plan to move to Australia next year. We'd like to get married in England so at least my family can be there, but I'm rather confused on these residency requirements to apply for a marriage license (based on my UK citizenship), and if my fiance would have to enter on a special visa to get married even if we weren't planning on staying in the country.
Have only had to think about these types of questions for the US before, so learning what is feasible in the UK is not something I really know how to go about researching.
Thanks!

Re: Wedding in the UK question
Google the county in which you plan to get married, they'll tell you what you need...though I think it's something along the lines of being there for 6 weeks before getting a marriage license? can't remember exactly.
There is a fiance visa, but as you don't intend to seek residence in the UK, I don't think you'd need it...

I think the requirement is six days not weeks before you can get a licence. It should say on the website anyway.
