Слайд 2The legendary village of Gretna Green in the
south west
corner of Scotland is indelibly linked
the eloping youngbride and groom who were not allowed to marry
south of the Border.
Слайд 3In 1754 England passed a law that prevented any bride
or groom under the age of 21 from marrying without
parental consent. In Scotland the age was 16 without consent and so the young lovers fled north to Scotland.
Слайд 4Gretna Green is the first village over the border and
conveniently situated at the first stage coach changing post on
the main London to Edinburgh route. Blacksmiths were given the right to conduct these hasty marriages over the anvil.
Слайд 5Gretna Green has been
a haven for romantic
lovers for
more than 250
years with couples
having travelled for days
by horse and coach, with
proverbial stories of
fathers in hot pursuit. The
oldest marriage certificate
on file dates from 1772
and today there are over
4,000 weddings at Greta
Green each year, which
is on average 17% of
all marriages taking place
across Scotland.
Слайд 6Today the blacksmith
is no longer
authorised to
conduct the
service
which must be by a
church minister or
registrar,
yet the tradition and romance
of being married at
Gretna Green
continues unabated.
Слайд 7
Eloping lovers still arrive
here for a secret, private
ceremony to avoid
the
huge family parties and all
the paraphernalia often
associated
with the formal white dress, top hat and
tails weddings of society
today.
Слайд 8
Love of romance means that Gretna Green is still a
very popular site for marriages, even though the
legal anomaly
is no longer relevant.
