Shane Ave brings your dream wedding suit ensembles to life. We are an end to end service that allows you to take control of your entire outfit. Regardless of your size, shape or how you identify, we will custom make your outfit to your personal design, fabric and colour specifications. We recognize that formal fashion in general terms is very gender-specific and often doesn’t allow the freedom of expressing one’s own identity. Lesbians, Transmen and Non-Binary are left out in the market place.

Same-sex couples can marry in every part of the UK: England and Wales since 2014, Scotland since the end of 2014, and Northern Ireland since 2020. Civil partnerships are open to every couple across the UK too, if that suits you better.
In England and Wales, you give notice at your local register office after living in that district for at least 7 days. Notice has to be at least 29 days before the ceremony, and your wedding must happen within 12 months. In Scotland, notice forms must reach the registrar at least 29 days ahead, though 10 to 12 weeks is recommended. Northern Ireland asks for at least 28 days, with around 8 weeks recommended.
In Scotland and Northern Ireland, a humanist ceremony can be your legal wedding. In England and Wales it can’t, yet. The government’s consultation on reforming marriage law closed in September 2026, and new legislation is promised “when parliamentary time allows.” Until then, many couples pair a quick register office signing with the ceremony they really want, like this humanist elopement on the Isle of Skye.
Visitors usually need to come in as Marriage Visitors, and the 7-day residency rule in England and Wales makes things tricky from abroad. Scotland has no residency period, so it’s a favorite for couples traveling in. If neither of you has lived in the UK for two years, you may need a certificate of no impediment from home.
Yes. Marriage equality covers England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Civil partnerships are also available to all couples.
At least 29 days in England, Wales and Scotland, and 28 days in Northern Ireland. Scotland recommends 10 to 12 weeks, and Northern Ireland around 8 weeks.
Not yet. They’re legal in Scotland and Northern Ireland. In England and Wales, a consultation on marriage law reform closed in September 2026, with legislation expected when parliamentary time allows.
Yes. Scotland has no residency period. Send your notice forms at least 29 days ahead (10 to 12 weeks is better), and check whether you need a certificate of no impediment from home.
In Scotland and Northern Ireland, celebrant-led ceremonies offer lots of freedom on location. In England and Wales, legal ceremonies happen at approved venues or register offices, so many couples hold a separate outdoor celebration.
Legal details last checked October 2026 against GOV.UK, nidirect, City of Edinburgh Council and Humanists UK. Always confirm with your local registrar.
