Call the county office that sells marriage licenses and ask them if its possible.

I tried to get married in CA many years ago but we did not not qualify for a CA marriage license since we did not live in CA.

And have the couple call the place in the UK that issues marriage licenses. They need to ask if a marriage performed in the US is valid in the UK.

Marriage licenses are controlled by the state (or country) in which a person lives. It can vary from place to place.

Congratulatons!
