Also, can a civil ceremony be held at a member of Parliment's house and can a church clergyman also perform a ceremony there at the same time?
That would be true if you are Japanese, but not if you are an American. (Japan doesn't recognize marriages performed in the UK, unless both are Japanese nationals)
