I would like to get married (most basic ceremony, no frills, no rings, no guests - just me, dp and the children) and then for dp and the children and I to go out for family lunch or maybe to a teashop for a bun.
However, we need two witnesses.
I thought the least complicated people to ask would be a couple of my sahm friends as then no faffing about getting time off work etc.
If I ask two people to trog into town complete with young children, pushchairs etc just to do me a favour, we have to then invite them to come for lunch / tea and a bun, don't we? It would be completely rude and a bit rubbish to say "thanks, bus stop is that way, bye".
Is there a way round this that I haven't thought of?
Considered relying on finding random strangers on the street to do it, but if we can't find anyone to witness for us we risk missing our time slot.
