Hello all,
So, my beloved and I have just started talking about actually ending our engagement of almost 10 years and doing the whole marriage thing instead. Yay!!!
We only want something small (ideally no guests at all, darn those pesky witness requirements! Now to decide which family members to offend...), and the Register Office in Cardiff seemed fine - apart from the fact that the nice, small office is only available Monday-Wednesday mornings. Is this normal? They have a bigger room for up to 65 people which is available on the weekends, but that's way too big for our needs, and as we've basically picked our honeymoon first (a lovely looking cruise, so dates for this aren't flexible...), I'd prefer not to go back to work for the few days between getting hitched and holidaying, and don't want to waste the precious Annual Leave allowance if I don't need to.
The Register Office looks ideal, because it is local, accessible and cheap. I don't want a big fairytale thing, and I generally look pretty daft in a dress as it is, so hiring some amazing venue would just be a waste and unnecessary expense. We don't have loads of money, and I'd rather spend the bulk of what we have on the honeymoon.
So yes, is it normal for a Register Office to just do early in the week? Do I need to go back to the drawing board on this one?
Thank you!
