Marriage certificates in England & Wales have a space for
Father of the Bride: Name & Occupation
Father of the Groom: Name & Occupation
AIBU to think that it is dreadful that in 2014 it is illegal to include
Mother of the Bride: Name & Occupation
Mother of the Groom: Name & Occupation
Article in Telegraph here
Even though this has been drawn to the attention of The Home Office they say "the requirement to include the father’s details in a marriage certificate is historic and would require a change to the present legislation. Currently there are no plans to change the rules."
I'm hoping to change that with this petition.

AIBU to think that mothers names & occupations should be on marriage certificates when fathers are?
