Gutted.......

pinkpig08

I've just phoned the registry office where I'm getting married. I know that the bride and groom are in the room before the guests come in as they have to speak with the registrar. I asked if, after the guests have entered, I could then walk in with the bridesmaids and my dad. They said it doesn't really work because the bride and groom are already in the room.

I'm gutted, I so wanted my dad to walk me 'down the aisle' (into the room!). Any other ideas what my dad can do? I suppose it'll be just walking me from the car into the registry office.

Sorry if I sound mardy but it's upset me. I' the eldest of 2 daughters and the first to get married.

I've never heard of this before. Yes, the registrar does have to see you both to confirm that your details still tally with when you resistered your intent. But I was under the impression that the bride and groom could be seen individually, and therefore you wouldn't need to be in the room.

Most registrars are flexible. Did you speak with a registrar when you called, or a receptionist? Perhaps you could speak with the registrar and see if they will reconsider.

My sister and her hubby were seen seperately (although they were in an approved venue, so I don't know if that changes things )

I am adamant that I don't want to see H2B on the day until I walk in the room. It's one of the traditions that means the most to me.

I got married at leeds town hall (reg office) and we were seen separately and I then walked down the 'aisle' with bridesmaids.
This seems abit silly and I hope you get it sorted!

Our reg office gave me the choice, so my brother will be walking me down the aisle...surely they can work with you on this? the bride and groom are not meant to see each other before hand :S

I waited for my OH to arrive - walked in by her Dad.
The guests were in the main room, registrar saw me in an ante-chamber and when OH(to be) arrived I went into the main room and she went into the room I was in.

Worth another word with them to see what can be done

We got married in a hotel by a registrar who spoke to us both seperately, OH first and then came to meet me before I got anywhere near the room.

Hope you manage to sort it out.

When we booked our date they specifically asked if we wanted to be seen together or seperate on the day

hi im getting married at coventry registry office next sept but cant book it till this sept but they have told me that they have a room which is basic and they have another room that we can have 50 people and where we can be kept seperate and i can be walked into the room with someone (my brother as dad deceased) im not sure if my bridesmaids can walk in after me or they have to be in the room to be honest im not fussed if they have to be in the room but it was important for me to walk into the room with my brother , we chose a registry office as none of us goes to church and dont really like the religon stuff it was important for the wedding to feel like a traditional wedding but without the religious stuff , i would ask again you might have just spoke to someone on a bad day try and explain how important it is , xx

My sister got married at our local registrar office last month. Her and H2B were seen together but then came back into the waiting area (where all the guests were waiting). We were then asked to go into the main room and my sister, my dad and her children waited outside til everyone was in the main room. She then came in with my Dad and walked down the aisle followed by the kids.

I get married in November and my pack from the registrar asks if I want to be seen separately and also who will be walking me in. Definitely ring back as I’d be really surprised if you cannot walk down the aisle with your Dad!
