Can you get married in a graveyard?

Can you get married in a graveyard or does it have to be in the church?

This is a really disrespectful request. I’d be horrified if they allowed someone to get married next to my mother’s grave, especially if I was visiting at that time. Apart from anything else, there isn’t room - do you intend to line guests up on the path or do you actually think it would be ok for them to stand on people’s graves?!

Legal in Scotland. But have you thought about the logistics? Where would people stand, what if people are laying flowers on neighbouring graves? What if there's a funeral going on at the same time?

Why do you want to? On the face of it, it's an awful, disrespectful thing to do; just to look a bit edgy. Quite attention seeking, tbh.

I agree. That would be so disrespectful to the people buried there.

They're probably thinking of an older, more picturesque part rather than newer graves

If I'd been buried for 100 years I don't think I'd mind inadvertently being part of a wedding

Something different

Near enough in Cardiff

Why the fuck would you want to? To more colourfully represent the "till death do us part" bit??“

We lived in a church conversion. The graveyard was the most beautiful, serene place.

Of course it was. They tend to be. No good reason whatsoever to host a flaming wedding in it.

Why would you want to?

Scotland its possible, with the view a church is a body of people rather than a building but would a minister be willing to hold a service in a graveyard.
