Hi There,
I'm getting married next year in Wales, where I am originally from. I picked a venue and paid a deposit but there are no registrars available that day. My partner wont marry in a church, so we planned to have the ceremony at our reception venue. We are happy to legally get married in a registry office the week before with two witnesses and then have a ceremony with vows, etc, in front of friends and family. Do other people do this? Is it a strange thing to do? Its hard convincing my mum that its a good thing to do as she doesn't see the point as we will technically already be married!
Any advice with this idea please would be much appreciated.
Sianigril.
