What is the difference between a ”Marriage Application” and “Solemnisation”?

Updated by OURMARRIAGEJOURNEY

A 'Marriage Application' is submitted by a couple to the Registry of Marriages (ROM) to give notice of their intended marriage. 

 

A 'Solemnisation' is the performance of a marriage ceremony by a Licensed Solemniser in the presence of two credible witnesses. The solemnisation can only take place after ROM has issued a marriage licence for the intended marriage.
