I'm getting married in the local registry office on Friday. I wondered if anyone would be free to be a witness? 11am in West London...

Hi Pidj. Thanks for your input! And HUGE THANKS to ratherbe and, (I hope) fishcalledmummy. I've given them a description, so I hope we all find each other in the foyer tomorrow.

I'm just Envy I can't come Grin

RatherBeKnownAsALooseHooker · 27/10/2011 21:36

Pidj - I'm really excited!!
Bless you for sending me the link!

purplewerepidj · 27/10/2011 21:35

Yay, Pistey's on for it (I fb'd her the thread knowing she's in the right area and works part time!)

Please tell me you're all going to Gregg's for lunch afterwards?!

Congratulations, btw Thanks

Hi everyone. Back from a damp day at Kew Gardens. I'm so heartened that you lovely people are happy to do this for a stranger. I'm not sure how to go forward now with so many kind offers! Malovitt there is absolutely no dress code. We won't be dressing up at all. DP is one of those men who wear their one pair of trousers 'til they fall apart and only then will he get another pair - preferably exactly the same as before. We will just be us three: DP, DS (age 7) and me. Thats how we want it and thats how its going to be.

Good luck
I'm in Scotland so can't help
Though years ago when registering DD2s birth the registrar asked if we would witness the marriage of a couple who had "eloped"

malovitt · 27/10/2011 16:21

I'm supposed to be going to Westfield in Shepherds's Bush tomorrow morning so could make a slight detour... I hate dressing up though - what's your dress code? Smile

afishcalledmummy · 27/10/2011 16:20

I'm in SW London but would happily pop over to Ealing to help if you need it, I have no plans at all on Friday!

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 27/10/2011 16:18

I work in west London so could possibly pop over :)

TimeForCake · 27/10/2011 16:16

Ahhh congratulations! Wrong side of London unfortunately and have a little one full of cold, not at all what you need! Can vouch for that LooseHooker one though! Grin She really is practising her crochet and all in a very good cause!

beatenbyayellowzombie · 27/10/2011 16:03

I'm in West London and free if you still need someone Smile

Icelollycraving · 27/10/2011 14:48

Oh my! I wish I could, I'm in se London & have a teething baby. That would be a whole other child free wedding thread. Good luck!!

RatherBeKnownAsALooseHooker · 27/10/2011 14:14

I would love to be a witness if you still need volunteers! I am Richmond way so not far at all.. Let me know, but either way I hope you have a great day Grin

Don't worry about the name tis in homage to a crochet teacher, nothing else, I usually go by the name RatherBeOnThePiste!!

So sorry - DD is viewing properties tomorrow morning, and she can't stand the stress of re-arranging. Grin
Hope someone comes along - although if I was acosted on the street to be a witness at a wedding, I'd be quite thrilled!
Have a brilliant day.

ajandjjmum · 26/10/2011 22:01

If you don't get anyone who can definitely help out, message me and DD might be able to come over - as long as you're getting married near a tube station! Grin

Congratulations!
