Hello there! My fiancé and I are eloping to Newcastle upon Tyne on Feb 20th 2017. We've booked a simple ceremony at Newcastle Registry Office. We haven't told a soul about our forthcoming wedding but I'm now starting to get a bit nervous about finding 2 witnesses. We had planned on asking 2 people off the street but what if we can't find anyone? Does anyone on here live in Newcastle and would be willing to be a witness at our wedding? You really would make our day come true! Xx

    Last time I sent a message through the contact feature it didn't work - had to spell out email address with a couple of spaces to avoid the filter xx

    An update…

    Our wedding day was even more perfect than we could have imagined – just the two of us and our witnesses with a simple ceremony before we got the train down to York for a couple of nights. We spent our honeymoon pampering ourselves in a lovely hotel and got back home on Wednesday. Since then we have been busy sharing our exciting news with family and friends – I don’t think it has really sunk in yet but being a ‘Mrs’ feels perfect! We’re planning a party in a couple of months so I think we can delay reality for a little longer Smiley winking

    Thank you to everyone who has read this and thought about us but especially to the very lovely Ratatatmilliecat and her wonderful H2B who made our dreams come true. We will be forever grateful that 2 strangers could show us so much kindness and wish them the very best for their own wedding and future lives together xxxxxxxxxxx
