We're having a non legal ceremony as my friend is officiating. Apparently this is quite normal, things like humanist celebrants or non licensed venues... so we need to go down to a registry office not to have a duplicate ceremony but just to sign the docs with two witnesses.
It seems like these appointments at registry offices are only available on select dates per month, and we can't find anything available in the couple of days either side wedding. So we're thinking this may have to be a couple of weeks or so away from the wedding date.
Would you do this before or after your ceremony? I can see pros and cons either way so interested to hear what people think!
