Hello!

So me and my partner are booked in to the local Town Hall to be married on (November 12th 9:15am) grin for a wedding! The only problem is we need to find two witnesses. We don't have any family members or friends who could witness us so we're hoping to find two random people to help us out.

Has anyone had to find witnesses for their secret wedding before? If so how did you go about it? hope someone can help us. Many thanks!!Smile

the address is The town hall, Wandsworth high Street- The Elizabeth Room

There was an amazing thread on here a little while ago where MN were witnesses.
You may get some offers and if not then grab a couple of people off the street!
I hope you have a lovely day.

Stress free!!!!

What about work colleagues?

Ah wish I still lived there, would help you in a second! If no luck here, consider looking on SW18 Mums fb group?

I'm bumping this. How exciting!

EmmaC78 · 05/11/2019 15:23

I suspect someone on here will be happy to help out. Good luck finding someone Smile

CuriousaboutSamphire · 05/11/2019 15:24

Giving you another bump. I hope some MNers are close enough for you!

Redshoeblueshoe · 05/11/2019 15:25

How lovely.
Shame I'm too far away

Cinderellasma · 05/11/2019 15:26

That sounds lovely. Sadly I am way too far away or I would join ye.

msmith501 · 05/11/2019 15:26

The staff at the town hall / registry office typically stand in as needed.

GrapefruitGin · 05/11/2019 15:27

If I was closer, I’d offer! Hope you find people Grin

CIT80 · 05/11/2019 15:28

Bumping for you ! Hope you find someone not close for me unfortunately

TheFaerieQueene · 05/11/2019 15:28

I was a MN witness a few years ago. It was lovely. I’m sure someone here can help.

MadeinBelfast · 05/11/2019 15:29

Can you get HQ to add the location to the title and maybe post it in the local area too? I'd do it if I wasn't miles away!

GrandmaSharksDentures · 05/11/2019 15:32

Oh...I'm working that day Sad
I live a bus ride away & would have LOVED to have been a witness. Sorry

WhoKnewBeefStew · 05/11/2019 15:35

We did this, speak to the registry office and they'll sort someone out for you. We ended up having two girls from the office witnessing ours

Bluetrews25 · 05/11/2019 15:41

I'm sure there will be some MNers!
Last time was lovely, we had some beaut photos from behind, IIRC .
Wishing you all the very best for your day and your future together.

JonnyPocketRocket · 05/11/2019 15:42

Oh that's so exciting! Congrats OP! I'm not far from there and would love to be a witness, but I'm due to have a baby sometime in the next couple weeks. I'd hate to commit and then let you down st the last minute because I've gone into labour! But if you haven't found anyone by the night before, PM me! If I'm not in early labour / just delivered I'd love to do it!

BlingLoving · 05/11/2019 15:52

Bugger, I'd have been there like a SHOT (we aren't far) but I have a school thing I have to attend for DS that day. I LOVE a wedding and have always wanted to turn up as a secret witness!!!!

Congratulations. And good luck!!!!

Croquembou · 05/11/2019 15:54

I'll do it.

I don't live far.

Send me a message Smile

Katia2511 · 05/11/2019 16:06

Let me know if you still need anyone, I can do it too, but I would have to bring my baby with me if that's ok x

Finchy19 · 05/11/2019 22:52

Good luck! We had 2 members of hotel staff be ours when we eloped!

xandd1112 · 06/11/2019 14:36

that is so lovely, you are really welcome to come with your baby!
