Converting a Civil Partnership to a Marriage?

A civil partnership is a legally recognised relationship between two people, and it offers many of the same benefits as a conventional marriage.
A Supreme Court ruling in 2018 means that now mix-sex couples can form a civil partnership, effective from December 2nd 2018. 
Civil partnerships were initially introduced to allow gay couples similar legal rights to married couples. Now heterosexual couples can form a union under this same title.
You may wonder why a couple would choose a civil partnership over marriage. Simply put, it is down to personal choice. 
Marriage does not always fit with everyone’s ideologies. Some view marriage as heavily steeped in patriarchal traditions. Such as being ‘given away’ by their fathers or promising to ‘obey’ their husbands.
Moreover, some simply do not want to be ‘married’ or have differing social, political, or religious views to what a traditional marriage means. 
A civil partnership can offer legal and financial security but without overriding connotations.
