Can a mormon priest married a nondimentinal couple?
A Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can perform the marriage of a nondenominational couple and will provide the service for free. He might also allow the couple to use the church building free of charge as well, so long as it is not reserved for a church activity. Mormon Bishops can perform marriages either in their own church buildings, in reception centers, homes, or outdoor locations, but not in church buildings of other religions. If you are outside the United States, you will need to be aware that in some nations, Mormon Bishops are not legally authorized to perform a marriage. Check with a Bishop or with local authorities to determine if it is legal. Mormon Priests are typically 16-20 year old boys. While they can perform baptisms, they are not legally able to perform marriages. The title of the man who leads a Mormon congregation is a Bishop, not a Priest. Bishops can legally perform marriages.
Is a marriage license from Scotland valid in the US?

Who is allowed to marry people in a Mormon church?
Please note that this answer applies to marriages taking place in the United States. While most countries also allow Mormon sealers and Bishops to perform marriages, some do not recognize their religious authority and therefore they are not allowed to perform marriages in those nations. In these countries, most Mormon couples choose to be legally married by a civil authority and then religiously married by a sealer or Bishop in a seperate ceremony. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) who desire to be married or 'sealed' in the temple must have one of the ordained sealers who is assigned to that temple perform their marriage. Apostles and members of the First Presidency (the Prophet and his two councelors) may also perform a temple sealing, but generally only do so if it is for the marriage of a family member. Those who are not going to be married in the temple, but choose to have a 'civil marriage' taking place in a church or another place are married by a Bishop. Bishops may also perform marriages for couples who are not Mormon. Stake Presidents and missionaries are also technically able to perform marriages but may only do so under rare circumstances where a Bishop is not available. If you are referring to a wedding ceremony taking place inside a Mormon church building, the Church typically allows anyone who is a legally recognized authority to perform a marriage in their church, regardless of their religious affiliation or the religious affiliation of the couple. Certain guidelines must be followed and the Bishop in that church must be consulted, but if a couple wanted (for example) to be married by a Baptist pastor in a Mormon church, that is totally possible.

Is getting married over the anvil legal a marriage?
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.
