The UK is a large territory with a great past and has many amazing wedding venues. But first a little bit of history….

In 16th century England, there were «matchmakers» who chose prospective brides and grooms. Parents often arranged marriages when the children were no more than a year old. They tried to find a rich and promising family. A little later these rules changed. Children could be married only when they were 7 years old or older. Very often brides and grooms were not satisfied with the choice of their parents. They married some, and secretly married others, those they loved. In our time, this tradition has gone far into the past.
