I'm christened Katherine but have always gone by Katie all my life. I'd like to go by Katie in the vows but when signing the paperwork does it have to be Katherine?

I think from a legal point of view you have to use your full legal name on the certificate and in your vows. Your registrar/celebrant should be able to help you.
