I can't help as due to give birth any second, but just wanted to say congratulations and to give you a hopeful bump.

KayTee87 · 15/07/2016 11:05

I can't help either as in Scotland and also about to give birth. Wanted to give this a bump though and congratulate you Grin

Registry offices used to be able to offer a member of staff a witness if necessary, have you asked them? Then rules may have changed...
If I lived closer I would help :) always secretly fancied doing this myself...
Congratulations!

BlurtonOnKites4eva · 15/07/2016 11:42

Sorry I'm not nearby!
Congratulations

Thanks ladies for all the replies and well wishes, I thought that too, unfortunately registry office have said they can not provide witnesses, but not to worry we will also ask around on the day and find someone!

I'm offline for next few days now, back on Sunday evening so if anyone is free just drop me a line and will get back to you Sunday evening if okay

Thank you again all and have a lovely weekend : )

Hi. I'm about 45 - 50 minutes from Chelmsford and was thinking about doing a big food shop on Monday anyway. Happy to help out if you still need some one. Having organized our wedding just over 18 months ago, eloping sounds like a fabulous idea! Second wedding for us both and I couldn't believe how much time and work it took.

BlurtonOnKites4eva · 15/07/2016 19:16

Teatime bump

HarryDresdensLeatherDuster · 15/07/2016 20:04

I'm just over an hour away, but happy to come if you need me!

Fedupithink · 15/07/2016 20:08

Ahh this is so very lovely!

Congratulations and good luck for Monday! Flowers

ErNope · 15/07/2016 20:10

Yonks away (200miles)but wanted to say congrats :D :D

Rochefoucauld · 16/07/2016 00:02

Hi! I've PM'd you - am 2 mins away and happy to help :)

Planty18 · 16/07/2016 00:28

How romantic - and it looks like you've found your witness! Hope you have a wonderful day, congratulations Smile

ConfuciousSayWhat · 16/07/2016 00:40

I'm an ex Chelmsfordian (I assume you're marrying at County Hall? If so I know lots of people who work there who'd happily help) but am sadly many miles away now.

Hope the day goes well.
