Quick Registry Office Wedding

[Mama1994]

I no this is a long shot but we were supposed to get married this year before our little girl was born in June. Unfortunately because of corona it all got cancelled and refunded. We are now going away to Cornwall and have booked a registration wedding just to do the legal bit but need witnesses !!!

It will be on 8th October 2020 at 3:30 in Truro registry office would anyone be prepared to take 15 minutes out of their day and witness for us? Do you think it would be easy to pull people off the street how can we do this please help.

I did this for a lovely mnetter in Manchester, it was an absolute privilege
Hope you find someone x

get there at 3pm, and ask passers-by. or staff in the vicinity.
they'd be honoured.
you only need two.
good luck.

check the restrictions. have extra masks/ hand gel at the ready.

Blatantly place marking

A previous, similar, thread was absolutely lovely

Congratulations OP! Wishing you a very happy wedding. I’m many miles away but will think of you.

Bumping for you! I've witnessed two Mumsnet weddings but I'm too far away for you. I'm sure someone local will be along soon!

I would suggest reposting with time, date and location in title to attract people. MNers love a good wedding. I would be there in a heartbeat but live in York

Good luck! And come back and tell us all about it.

Oh I'd love to do this but I'm to far away ☹️, I hope you manage to find people.

Love these threads!

If you don't get very far, I agree with pp to post the date & location in a new thread title.

Sorry it's no where near me!

I've been a Mumsnet wedding witness. Was lovely, have a tear in my eye thinking about it still. People will always be happy to help.

No-where near Cornwall sorry! but Congratulations and good luck

@Mama1994 hi both me and my DH live in Falmouth (approx 11 miles from Truro) and are happy to be witnesses for you.

That’s mine and my husbands tenth anniversary. If I was anywhere near you I would do it in a heartbeat in the name of love. Congratulations OP.

Id have done this for you if it was closer to my work. Post on mumsnet local.

Truro registry office is one of the nicer buildings btw.

@lorn195 that’s fab

@CornishTiger I agree. I drove past it yesterday and it's definitely a nicer place than some I have seen.

It was my first choice but we’d registered a death in there so didn’t want to upset DH or MIL.

Do you need any ideas for somewhere nice to go afterwards?

@lorn195 that’s lovely 😍

Congrats OP

@CornishTiger I totally understand. I have seen Falmouth and Bodmin registry offices and neither are as nice.

@Thehop thanks. It's so lovely that we can help out on such an important day.

Ask the staff if they can be witnesses-some places can and some can’t.

Ahh congratulations OP! This is lovely. Please let us know how your day goes xxx

Morning op, are we still on for next Friday? I can’t believe it’s getting close!!
