壹旦雙方確立了戀愛關系，男方要送給女方訂婚戒指並舉行儀式。這種習俗遍及整個英國。結婚或定婚戒指是許多民族的傳統習俗，英格蘭人在教堂裏舉行婚禮儀式時，新郎給新娘戴戒指是不可缺少的壹項重要內容。人們甚至認為不戴戒指的婚姻是無效的。當神父詢問壹對新人是否願意做對方的妻子或丈夫、能否相互尊重、白頭偕老後，新郎給新娘的無名指上戴上壹枚戒指。它象征著丈夫對妻子的純真愛情，同時妻子也表示接受並忠實於這種愛情。
戴戒指的習俗可以追溯到古代埃及、中國，它不僅作為壹種信物也是壹種裝飾品。婚姻戒指最初並不鑲嵌鉆石、翡翠以及紅藍寶石等飾物，純潔的圓形象征著由婚姻聯袂在壹起的兩個人的團圓。在壹些民族中象征著壹種魔力，保佑夫婦幸福長壽，同時，施予者表示對接受者的信任，接受者表示對施予者的忠誠。
金戒指象征愛情的純真，銀戒指意味情感溫柔。英國人同西方各國壹樣，定婚戒指是金制的而不鑲嵌任何寶石，結婚戒指應加裝飾物，至於戒指的質量則根據個人的經濟條件不同而不同。定婚、結婚戒指可戴在同壹無名指上，也可以由結婚戒指取代定婚戒指。
英國在16世紀時，結婚戒指的內側經常刻是家族的圖案或箴言，諸如"上帝使我成為某某的妻子，"某位主教的妻子的戒指上刻上壹只手、壹顆心、壹頂主教冠和壹個骷髏，銘文是："前三個我賜予妳，第四個使我超脫。"今天戒指上的銘文大多只刻上新郎和新娘名字的開頭字母。
英國人結婚要穿禮服；新娘身著白衫、白裙、頭戴白色花環，還要罩上長長的白紗，手持白色花束。總之，英國人崇尚白色，它象征愛情純潔、吉祥如意。而戴頭紗的習俗可以追溯到公元前10世紀，當時兩河流域就已盛行女子戴頭紗。在古希臘，舉行結婚儀式時不僅新娘要戴亞麻或毛織品的頭紗，而且壹對新人都要戴上花冠。到了羅馬時代，不同宗教信仰的人要戴不同顏色的頭紗以示區別。中世紀以後，宮廷貴族之中出現了用珍珠裝飾的花冠。爾後，發展成為白色頭紗，並且尺碼日益延長，並遍及歐洲各地。
壹旦舉行完婚，新郎新娘從教堂裏出來的時候，人們要向新人祝賀，這種祝賀不是親吻、擁抱和握手，而是向他們撒五彩繽紛的紙屑。撒紙屑的習俗起源於撒麥粒。1491年英國國王亨利七世攜王後到布裏斯托爾旅行。旅行途中，被壹位面包師的妻子看到，於是她從窗子裏向他們撒麥粒，並高呼："歡迎妳們，陛下！祝妳們幸福、長壽。"這成為壹段佳話，到16世紀時，這壹習俗已廣為流傳，人們向新郎、新娘撒麥粒，有時還染各種顏色。麥粒象征著豐收和生活富裕，同時也祝賀新婚夫婦幸福長壽，子孫滿堂。
度蜜月也是英國各地青年結婚的重要內容之壹。他們把積蓄下來的錢用於旅遊，而結婚後去旅遊便稱作度蜜月。這原是古代的習俗，在新婚之時壹定要飲用壹種用蜂蜜特制的飲料，用來象征家庭美滿、愛情甜蜜和生活幸福。而這種飲料從結婚開始要喝30天，因此就把新婚第壹個月稱作蜜月了。
在英國對於結婚紀念日十分重視，每年都要慶祝並有不同的稱謂。第壹年是紙婚，第二年是棉婚，第三年為皮革婚，第四年為毅婚，第五年稱木婚，第六年稱鐵婚，第七年叫銅婚，第八年叫陶器婚，第九年為柳婚，第十年是錫婚，以後是鋼婚、繞仁婚、花邊婚、象牙婚、水晶婚。從第十五年以後，每五年各有壹個稱謂，依次為搪瓷婚、銀婚（第二十五年是個大典）、珠婚、珊瑚婚、紅寶石婚、藍寶石婚、金婚（五十年是第二大典）、翡翠婚、鉆石婚。這最後壹個是第三大慶典，但很少有人能夠慶祝這個慶典。
