Help regarding 'intention to marry'

15 Posts
Hi all,
Really hoping someone might be able to help with this. I know I need to register my intent to marry, but really not sure who to register this with. Am living in Newcastle, but are getting married in Leicester where we are from. Therefore do we register for Newcastle council or Leicester?
Many thanks in advance!

The exception is if you are getting married in an Anglican church, when you don't need to register at all.
Second - Give Notice of your intention to marry in the district where you live and pay council tax.
Then get on with the fun stuff. X
We've done 1st, but not 2nd yet as OH has no leave left- it can be anything up til about 3 weeks before the day. We'll go in new year to do ours
I booked our date months ago with them, and filled in a form containing all sorts of vital info such as what my dad did before he retired. I recently got in contact to check if there was anything else I needed to do and they said not their end. So do I need to do this intention to marry thing, or is that for non religious ceremonies? They mentioned explaining banns nearer the time (wedding is 11 months away), what about banns in our 'home' church, do I need to arrange them?
This is all so confusing!
