United Kingdom has real paperwork and/or a notice period, but it's manageable with advance planning or a local wedding planner.
A popular, low-stress option is marrying legally at home first (or after) and having a purely symbolic ceremony at your destination — many couples do exactly this, especially in destinations marked "complex" here.
Requirements, waiting periods, and required documents change and vary by nationality — always confirm current specifics with the destination's civil registry (or a local wedding planner/lawyer) well before you book. A marriage legally performed abroad is generally recognized back home, but always confirm the specific recognition process with your home country's government too.
