finally got through to registry office , turns out the number that was advertised was wrong so it was taking me to a different dept!

the guy said 3 months before i can hand forms in to give notice. Think i will go get all forms just now though and have them ready to go in with as i am terrible at putting things off

3 months before, and what if everything was booked and they couldn't fit you in/didn't have anyone free, or couldn't even do that date? :eek:

We gave notice a year before our date to be on the safe side lol!

oh we dont need a registrar we just need the licence as we are having a humanist service. so its just to put the forms in for the banns and the schedule. this is why i was confused as everything was around booking the registrar it said nothing about submitting forms for anyone else to marry us

So you just need to give notice, and you book the humanist seperately? Think I'm with you now lol!

I haven't got a clue about those weddings, what's the difference?

yep you got it

humanist is a non religious personal service which we write with the celebrant and shape it around what we want .
we need to give notice like you would if you were having a church wedding as there needs to be a licence granted and a schedule for the celebrant to sign and us to sign with witnesses..

We went humanist as were non religious and i wanted something a bit different and more personal to the registrar. Its also costing us less to have the humanist which is a bonus!!!

Don't you have to have a seperate ceremony with a registrar too to complete the legal formalities beforehand? I didn't think a humanist service was a legally binding wedding....?

Unless they are in Scotland.

If they are in the UK or Wales, they have to have a registrar present, or still have a civil ceremony.

(I've been reading up on them lol)

She has been on the website looking at the shoes they sell and picked a pair she wants but the new styles are in and the lady in the shop is going to let her have a good play:T
