One of the plus sides of the Covid-19 situation is the opportunity for those with small families and a limited budget to get married with venues and photographers desperate for business and with unusual vacancies. In most cases, it’s simply a case of needing a last minute wedding ring to get married.

While a wedding dress may jump first to the Brides mind, the marriage ring is a symbol of the eternal union which adorns that ring finger every day afterwards. It won’t go into a box never to be worn again and will hold those treasured memories and constant reminder.

If you’ve franticly rushed around arranging the last-ditch wedding, and forgot the rings or been let down by your supplier. Then it is actually possible to get a wedding ring short notice. Companies like Wedding Rings Direct advise they can deliver a wedding ring in 24-48 hours where available and in stock with no adjusting needed.

If you have more breathing space on time, it is even possible to have a wedding ring sample delivered to your door to make sure you are getting the perfect wedding band, meaning you could still have the ring of your dreams within a week.

How to get married quickly

The return of the shotgun wedding. First things first for a wedding or civil partnership, you need an approved venue and a registrar.

The cost of a registrar is:

  • £46 at a registery office
  • £86 at a registered religious building

And there are legalities that have to be completed before the wedding like giving notice (usually £35 per person for UK nationals and you might need an appointment), which has to be done 29 days before the wedding and within a year of the wedding.

To give notice you will need:

  • Details of the ceremony venue
