If you are applying for a fiancee visa then you don't have to worry about a 'certificate of approval' - the fiancee visa is your approval to get married in the UK.

If your mahal was in the UK on a student visa, work visa, etc then you would need to apply for a COA.

thank you for that answer as it puts my mind to rest now thats one less thing to worry about getting it will drive me but worth it in the end
