Alderney "Three days and you can marry"

COUPLES who wish to tie the knot in Alderney will soon need only to spend three days in the island before being granted a marriage licence.
States members voted to reduce the number of days’ notice from one month at last week’s States meeting to follow in the footsteps of Jersey.
Policy and Finance chairman Richard Willmott admitted some would be concerned the island is turning into a ‘Las Vegas-type’ destination but added that the benefits of the new law would greatly enhance Alderney’s standing as a wedding venue.
‘Alderney is an attractive marriage venue, both for those with island connections and those who simply find it a romantic place to marry and spend their honeymoon,’ he said.
‘We must consider that this legislation will help our hoteliers, pubs and other businesses.’
