Tying the knot: reforming weddings law in England and Wales
Overview
This is a consultation on the government’s proposals to reform weddings law in England and Wales. The proposals follow the Law Commission’s 2022 report on weddings law and the government’s announcement in October 2025 of its intention to modernise wedding law. The proposals seek to strengthen the institution of marriage by ensuring the process of getting married is made simpler, clearer and more accessible to all.
Why your views matter
The consultation is open to the public. We would be particularly interested to hear from parliamentarians, religious and non-religious belief organisations, academics, independent celebrants, support organisations and local registration services.
