I hadn't thought about that, so thanks for prompting me!  My gut 
reaction is that they are still citizens of Britain so I would imagine 
that they just go to the local registery office (or other venues now 
that the law has changed so that you can).

Alternatively there is an English expression "Living over the brush" 
referring to a couple who live together rather than being married to 
each other.  This comes from ancient times, when in order to show 
their permanent commitment to each other and to demonstrate the same 
to the villagers, a couple would jump over a broomstick together!  
Perhaps it is still something like this?!
