Who are you having as your witnesses?

Im not sure yet. my brother got married couple yrs ago and asked me and SIL asked her brother....the BM assumed HE was a witness so they had to ask the CBM on the day to be one too so he had 4!!

We have asked my mum and OH's mum. I think traditionally it is the MOH and BM but i thought it would be nice for the mums.

I thought you could only have 2 flo?

We are having my Stepdad and OHs dad. We wanted both to be included and this felt like the right place.

We are both having our Dads

We had our Mums. For a civil ceremony (no idea about church weddings) you must have 2 witnesses but can have up to 4.

2 officially sign yeh, but for the'staged' signing you can have more!!

I'm having my sister and OH is having his brother xx

My stepsister and one of our friends are our witnesses.

I was witness for my sister on the weekend and the other was the best man

Thanks everyone,

OH Mum and dad are divorced Mil has remarried but Fil hasnt ( but has had the same partner for other 17 yrs) and neither of them get on , so thought rather than offend anybody we asked 2 close friends , mil is not happy as usual lol x

We're having, Best Man, Chief Bridesmaid and our Mum's, so we are having 4 too. Just thought it was a nice way to involve the mum's

I've just emailed our vicar about this. We'd like to have our Best Man, our Matron of Honour and our mums.

@ flo - aw I see, good plan to keep the peace!

Ive been thinking about this lately. We were witnesses a few years ago for our close friends so was thinking of asking them or I also thought of our mums but h2b has a step mum too so could be an issue. Its just another thing to stress about that should be simple!

We're also having our mums. I don't think they have a big role as such so thought it a nice touch

We are having MoH (who is a close friend of mine) and Best Man (close friend of h2b).

We're having my mum and oh's dad

Am having my Step Sister and OH is having one of his best friends, we didnt want BM or MOH signing as they are already playing an important role on the day and wanted to include more people.

Us too, and our mums are doing readings so they are all involved, figured this will work well as FIL2b is shy and would hate to do a reading and although my Dad is very good at that sort of thing he has his speech so seemed like the best way to work it so all parents are involved

Looks like it'll just be our Best Man and the MOH. Vicar said there's only two spaces to sign on the forms. Boo.

We are having my brother and h2b's sister.x

We are having my OH's Nan and my uncle. We thought of it as another way to include someone in the day.

We were going to have our Best Man and MOH, but as I've seemed to have mislaid my MOH we're thinking of asking my brother as the Best Man is also my H2B's brother and it will look 'even'.

My children as also 'signing' the register as well.

His mum and my younger son in law.

I was witness for my younger daughter's wedding and very much appreciated the "duty".

We felt our mums and dads were already involved enough being the father/mother of the bride/groom. So we've asked our brothers as they were the only family members not already involved. (I have one brother, H2B has one brother and one sister but his sister was already being my bridesmaid.)

I always thought you had to have bridesmaid and best man and that was part of their job! Never occured to me you could have others... hmm...got me wondering now!

The helicopter pilots will be our witnesses, I think this is the bit I love the most about it ?

We are having four as we wanted to include a few more people.

We're having my mum, MIL2B, SIL2B and my best friend

We are having my older sister who didnt want to be a bridesmaid and the best man.. :-)

This is what we're doing. We're having one of my close friends who I would have had as a BM but it just wasn't practical due to where she lives and OH's uncle.
