There is nothing legally to stop anyone from having a double wedding, but it is rare and can be more difficult to arrange.
Carolyn Bain has worked as a registrar for Norfolk County Council for 14 years, and during that time has only done two double weddings.
She said that for it to work, the couples organising the day have to “see eye to eye”.
“If you see [your wedding] as just about you and your family – don’t do it,” she said.
She said couples need to decide between themselves who would go first throughout the ceremony and when exchanging their legal words.
She said in the right circumstances it can be a “lovely thing to do”.
A spokesperson for the Church of England said there was no legal bar to double weddings in its churches, but they were “exceptionally rare”.
