Just want to clarify, we will give notice ion Manchester and we will have our wedding in St. Helens, that's fine am I correct?

But the uk gov website confused me

"You can only give notice at a register office if you have lived in the registration district for at least the past 7 days." Does it literally mean that my fiancé and I have to live in Manchester? Or is newton le willows still part of the "district" of Manchester?


It also requires us to bring proof of billing, is it fine that my name is not included on the bill yet? If so, then it will just my fiancé's proof of address? How am I going to prove the address where I live?

Also, I got my CENOMAR January 2014, do you think it's still okay to use until I get married? Or would they require me to get a new one?


Sorry for the questions but I just want to clarify

I can't help you on this Jen... it's just that our wedding date was booked in the Registry Office here in Bedford 6 months before the intended wedding. It was my husband who organised it all. I don't know how he did it but when I applied for my Fiancée Visa in Nov 2011, we already had the official confirmation of our wedding day(April 07,2012) from the Registry Office(I even already had the hall/room picture where the wedding ceremony was being held) so as the wedding reception booking. Then when I arrived here, as I can vaguely remember, we went somewhere not here in Bedford for an interview and to pay the wedding administrative-related fees, then days afterwards, we received some paper stuffs from them.
