The UK Border Agency's online Entry Clearance Guidance for
fiancé/fiancée applications states at Chapter SET 1.18 "The ECO (Entry
Clearance Officer) needs to be satisfied that it is intended that a marriage
in the UK will take place. The law relating to marriage in England and Wales
does not allow for any arrangements to be made with a Registrar until the
foreign national has arrived in the UK. Of itself, a booking at a Register
Office or church is not proof that a marriage will take place.
