Marriage in Scotland takes place under Scots Law, but getting married in the Church of Scotland is very similar to those processes followed by the Church of England and the Church in Wales but, as a church it is most similar in style of worship and the way it is organised, to the United Reformed Church.

Crucially the Church of Scotland does not regard marriage as a sacrament, i.e. binding forever, and this means that ministers are free to marry people who are not members of the Church of Scotland and, depending on the circumstances, also allows for a re-marriage of divorced people in church. As with all churches, the best place to start is by chatting with the minister. In places where parish boundaries are not obvious, the local presbytery clerk (see list of presbyteries) should be able to advise. In all cases, a minister will wish to interview a couple before agreeing to marry them, so that he or she is satisfied that a religious ceremony is appropriate. It is helpful if the couple have a reason for approaching a particular parish minister - family, knowledge of the place, etc. The minister may suggest that the couple arrange for their own minister to conduct the wedding. Unlike in England and Wales, in Scotland it has been possible to get married by a minister anywhere for sometime but this is at their discretion - a hotel is not unusual but some more outlandish settings might, understandably, be refused
