Answering a message sent to her Instagram account, the star told fans: “To get married anywhere legally, the place has to have a ‘civil ceremony’ licence. One of the requirements of this liscence is that the premises must be made ‘readily available’ for ceremonies…”
She joked: “As this is our private family home and we need it to remain that way we couldn’t go for that option.”
Additionally, she revealed: “So we are having a relaxed private blessing in front of our closest friends and family and a ceromony of our love to each other and we will register our marriage legally after…”
So while the pair celebrated with friends and family at home at Pickle Cottage, they will still need to legally get married.
