Outdoor weddings allowed in Alderney from next month
Couples in Alderney will soon be able to get married outside under a new law.
From 1 March, ceremonies can take place on the beach, in a garden or on top of a cliff. There used to be a clause where you had to be a resident, but that has now been scrapped. Instead couples will have to come over for an interview beforehand.
The new law replaces the current one which was considered outdated and did not meet the requirements of modern society.
The island is also looking for more Civil Celebrants to undergo training so they can conduct a legal, recognised marriage ceremony. Anyone interested in applying should contact the Alderney Court Office on 01481 820050.
