now im going to plan it for her birthday in january as its on a saturday[and i wont have to get her a birthday prezzie]. so i can tell her we going away for the weekend.my mate and his wife have agreed to come up as well to be witness.
now there seam to be a few places to get married in gretna,but what was the original?is it still there?or can anybody recomend anywhere?

I do know you need to book in advance, you cant just turn up and get married any more

Used to be the blacksmiths shop in years gone by --- but these days anywhere in Gretna goes!  You now have to abide by certain residency rules though, I think.  Best to check though

my mate went through these

think google has to be the best way forward on this one!!!!  Good luck though

What are you doing man? RUN!

Don't want to put you off, but we passed through Gretna a few years ago and it looked like something of a tourist trap.  I don't know, but I suspect it might be somewhat expensive. 

Might be cheaper to zoom off to Nevada.

Good man, Gixer.

  You`re going to 'elope'; how romantic!


....at least you haven`t the worry of being chased by a homicidal father-in-law.

I must admit that If swmbo and I were to marry, after 12 years together, then this would be my plan......Good Luck and I shall follow this progress with genuine interest.....

most of the time google is your freind but there is so much info its hard to sort and personal recomendations are always the best.

my parents are dead and the mrs parents live on the other side of the world and wont travel so no proplems  with inlaws so another reason why we can have a small event.
stmo/gixer
i dont want to run as i know when im onto a good thing .plus it gives her a sense o f security and as we have been together so long shes entitled to half anyway so theres no big diffrence
holycount/jereboam
nevada might be better so might spain.italy/cyprus etc
but im on a very limited budget so its got to be done as cheap as possiple but still trying to make it nice for her.
thanks for all the help/suggestions so far.
