Couples looking to get married in England may not have to say “I do” in a formal, stuffy office.

Lawmakers are thinking outside the box and may soon allow people to tie the knot outdoors in England and Wales for the first time in nearly two centuries.

Since 1836, couples who wanted to legally marry or have a civil union in both countries have been required under law to hold ceremonies in solid structures with a permanent roof, like register offices or churches, The Guardian reported.

Chancellor Philip Hammond is set to announce Monday that he wants to streamline rules on wedding venues across the United Kingdom to provide less costly alternatives for couples. Outdoor weddings are already allowed in Ireland and Scotland.

“While the laws around who can get married have evolved substantially in recent years, the laws on how and where marriages must take place have remained largely unchanged since 1836,” a treasury spokesperson told The Guardian. “This review will help the law keep pace with modern Britain while helping people keep the cost of living down.”

These old laws also require venues to apply for licenses to host weddings, which limits choices for couples looking to wed and drives up wedding costs.

The cost of getting married in England has also recently gone up, according to The Guardian, with the average wedding costing between $25,000 and $38,000.

The Post reported in March that weddings in New York City are the most expensive in America at a whopping $77,000 for the average ceremony in Manhattan.
