So my partner and I have set a date for April 2020, we've found a venue we like and are going to book which is outdoors. We have planned for one of our close friends to perform a blessing in front of our guests as this holds much more meaning for us. As this is not legal in the UK we are hoping to get a brief legal ceremony at the local registry office beforehand the same morning and then go on to our blessing & reception later in the day. The thing is, I'm a bit confused by what I've read online. We live in Devon but the venue is in Cornwall (so separate counties), from what I've read you have to have lived in the county for minimum 7 days to legally give notice at the local registry office - does this mean we have to both give notice and marry legally in Devon, or can we give notice at our local one and get legally married in Cornwall? Sorry if this is a really dumb question but my head is all over the place at the moment and I just need some reassurance I think ? we wanted to do it that day in particular because the date we've chosen is our anniversary and we want the date on the official certificate to be the same as all the other bits if that makes any sense, sounds a bit obsessive maybe I know but it's important to us if possible. Thanks in advance ?
