Does a uk marriage certificate need an apostille stamp?

If my husband and I get married in the UK, and my husband is British and I'm non-EU, will our UK marriage certificate need an apostille stamp?

Not necessary.

An apostille certificate would be attached to recognised UK documents that need to be used overseas in official matters.

So that means I can't apply for a schengen without the stamp on our marriage certificate. Is that correct?

No. You don't need an apostille stamp on a UK marriage certificate for a Schengen visa application submitted in the UK
