to think we will be able to find witnesses

[plantowed]

outside the registry office on the day of the wedding and if so what should we offer them as an incentive to be a witness? Not planning on having any guests.

Thanks IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece. We're trying to get a photographer, but you can contact at delphiero50 at gmail.com

Thanks everybody. We finally get the photographer.

Dh and I did this once. Folk came to stay in our holiday cottage on the Saturday, asked if we were free Tues lunchtime - we went to the local registry with them. We stuck a bottle of some nice fizzy wine into the cottage for them afterwards. It was lovely.

I think risky to rely on witnesses off the street better to arrange in advance. Old work colleague who doesn't know your other friends or family?

Damn it I really wanted to be a witness! I am offering my services to anyone else needing a witnesd. London area covered.
I can bring a flower girl & page boy too!
My dsil is a fab cake maker so can bring the cake! She doesnt know that I have volunteered her services on mn

My friend did this and I don't think they had any problem finding people.

I need 2 witnesses for 30th October southampton

My father and step mother did this. They had no problem. They just turned up half an hour early and asked people passing by in the street. They ended up with a 19 year old student and a gentleman in his mid 80s who regaled them with stories of his wedding :). They were the first two people they asked

The next day my dad decided to tell me he was now married
