OFFICIAL GUIDANCE NOTES FOR ALL 
UNITED KINGDOM MARRIAGES

In addition here are some official legal notes for your guidance:
Both parties to the marriage need to give notice at either the same or different Register Offices, depending on where they live and their nationality and immigration status. The couple must complete 7 full days residence in that District before they can give notice and they may only give notice up to 12 months ahead of the marriage. 
After 28 clear days from when the notice has been entered, the Superintendent Registrar may produce the certificates. The Registrar General may, when there are exceptional circumstances and compelling reasons, reduce the 28 day waiting period when the couple formally applies for this.  
You are required therefore in due time to make contact with the Register Office for the Bridgend District or for your own area to declare your intentions and to complete some legal documents.
Bridgend Register Office:  Ty'r Ardd, Sunnyside, Bridgend, CF31 4AR
 Telephone:  01656 642 391
