Can anyone make me feel more comfortable?

Update. Well the bride and groom came for a visit yesterday. I must say my niece/God daughter looked very happy which was lovely to see. She said even before I mentioned it that their marriage was not legal here in UK but that they planned a civil ceremony here. I said that we'd be happy to travel wherever it took place. However, he said there might be a delay as they'd have to wait for his extended family to visit. Hmmmm. They were all at the Muslim wedding. I'd like our side of the family to be able to attend a legal one asap. I'm still very slightly concerned. Oh well...
