i dont know about religion. i got married by a judge in the philippines , who kept telling jokes, looking back i'm wondering now if i'm legally married ........

you really need your bf or you to phone ind up and ask them, because as it says "This page contains advice concerning the issue of Certificates of Approval for Marriage, following both the judgement of the High Court (10th April 2006) and the Court of Appeal (23rd May 2007). If you are planing to to get married in the UK and you think you may require a COA you should read this page in full".
so there was a high court judgement and an appeal and the gov was forced to make changes..
