Lambeth witness request!

Burrito22 · 24/05/2021 12:13

We are getting married at Lambeth registry office on Wednesday at 11:00 and wondered if two Mumsnetters might be free to be witnesses? It will just be us and our children. We have been together for 20yrs and really we are doing it for legal reasons so don’t want to create a massive hoo ha by inviting friends and family. Any kind mumsnetters who might be free for half an hour? Thank you

Oooh, fab. I did this a couple of years ago in Manchester
I know the bride is still on here- Hello if you see this!

Too far for me but I hope you get someone, I highly recommend it to any MNetters in that area.

Thank you Hoppinggreen

I would so do this if I was in the area.

Agh so wish I could OP as I'm local but I have 2 little ones of my own. Good luck!

Out if interest: what are you telling friends and family? DP and I are considering doing the same as you but I'm worried about upsetting my family, even though we don't want anyone else there!

Burrito22 · 24/05/2021 12:37

Thanks for all the enthusiasm Smile.

MaizeBlouse we aren’t telling friends and family anything. Then once done we will just quietly tell people if it comes up when we see them. I’m sure it will cause some offence but hopefully less because we haven’t invited anyone.

How exciting! We did this two years ago but over in Southwark, two witnesses. Lovely

I wish I could offer as I can get to the registry office in ten minutes but I am working!

Burrito22 · 24/05/2021 16:25

Thank you. We have one Mumsnetter who has kindly offered to witness so just one more needed.

Burrito22 · 24/05/2021 17:23

And we have a full house of witnesses. We’re on!
