I think someone's kidding you on, marriages conducted in one part of the UK are valid in other parts. In fact legal marriages from many other countries are recognised too. Marriage must be between two otherwise unmarried people.
Just to clarify, England and Scotland are different countries, each with their own legal system and both forming part of the state of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. The Act of Union 1707 guarantees the continued existence of a separate legal system for Scotland.
