You asked

I would like to know:

  1. how many British citizens got married abroad in 2014

  2. a country-by-country breakdown of these marriages, with complete figures for each country

We said

The information requested has been supplied using data collected by the International Passenger Survey, this is a continuous survey conducted at all major UK air, sea and tunnel ports and provides reliable estimates of the UK passenger traffic. These tables use data collected from UK residents on their arrival back in the UK. The data is collected from a sample of the UK passenger traffic and then weighted to provide estimates for the total UK passenger traffic. Estimates in these tables are based on small sample sizes and are therefore subject to a margin of uncertainty. They should therefore be treated with caution.
