Since the marriages violated English law, it's doubtful they would have been recognized if they went back to England. Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act of 1754 forbid marriage in England for those under twenty-one years of age. Scotland, however, allowed for marriage as long as the boy was fourteen and his bride was twelve. As a result, many young lovers crossed over into Scotland to marry. Gretna Green was the first village in Scotland and many would go to the blacksmith shop there for the ceremony. Anyone could perform the ceremony and it always ended with someone hitting the anvil to symbolize the marriage had been completed.
