Cheshire East Registrar's

I'm having Cheshire East for my wedding at end of July... I'd be interested to find out this too - I have no idea! We've done our notice and paid our next installment... but didn't get told anything about what happens next and when?!

Like you say, 4 weeks before doesn't seem that long at all, especially if you need to sort out stationery, order of the day etc, I'd quite like to get all that done much earlier!

Any advice would be great!

We are using cheshire east as well. But we aren't even at the stage to give notice yet. Reading another post about registrar fees cheshire East came out as the most expensive, sometimes £100s of pounds more!!

anyway 4 weeks doesn't sound alot, and I don't think you should have to be googling things. Something that might help would be popping along to a wedding Faye that cheshire East will be attending, watching a ceremony and then asking your questions face to face x

I gave notice in cheshire east and got married in cheshire west. West sent us a book once we'd given notice and they had received the files. the booklet had several version of the vows in them and an online version of them. East seems to have this: http://www.yourceremony.org.uk/ and its as much help as a choclate teapot (why is everything better in the west coucil grrrrr) its all advertising for the venues and NOTHING on ready or the vows. sorry i cant be of help. But they didnt contact me or anything until the last 4 weeks when the balance was due (no reminder, i just remembered) I paid and hinted to them that I had chosen music and reading and that i needed them approved and could i book an appointment.

when its comes to the ceremony, its all up to you, music, readings, even privately written vows. along as its non religious and gets approved by the registrar.

I got married under Cheshire East.

We received a formal wedding pack approx 6 weeks before, which we had to fill in to indicate our choices for the ceremony, the relevant names of the bridal party, whether my Dad was to be asked for consent, etc etc. We were to return this by post, with copies of any personally written vows, our readings and and song lyrics, for approval. After this, we had a very short email conversation with the registrar for her to send through the ceremony wording for our perusal (with any changes to be sorted by email) and to confirm that our readings songs were OK. We didn't require any face to face meetings.

Do you know the name of your registrar? I suggest phoning him/her to request a pack (it sounds like they don't do them anymore though) and the ceremony wording, as a starting point. Don't panic though - it really doesn't take much time to make these decisions.

If you want, I can dig out our pack and make a list of the questions in it, as these are likely to be what they ask you in any meeting and you can at least start to think about them beforehand.

Hi ladies this is an old post I know but I was wondering if you can advise the questions you get asked as I have heard horrible things like they interview you then split you up ext. my parter is not a British national so I do expect to be 'grilled' more than 2 British nationals would.

any help would be great

thanj you
