By law you have to give notice of marriage, which is a formal declaration of your intention to marry.
You are both required to give a notice of marriage and there is a standard fee for this. If you live in Stockport you must give notice to the Stockport Register Office.

If either or both of you live in another district, then you must give the notice at your local register office. The marriage itself can take place in Stockport Registration District, if you wish or in any Register Office in England and Wales.

Please note the marriage can only take place at the venue you name on the notice of marriage. If you were to change the venue it would be necessary to give, and pay for, fresh notices of marriage.

You cannot give a notice of marriage more than 12 months before the date of marriage. A marriage cannot take place until 15 days after you have given the notice

The Register Office ceremony room accomodates up to ten people.
