Hi,

We are having a secret wedding on Friday 14 July and due to us wanting to keep it a surprise from our family and friends we don't have any witnesses. Would any kind person be able to help us out? It will be in Paisley registrar office at 11am on Friday 14th July.

We will pay travel plus a small cash amount as a thank you! 😊❤️

Aww, I'm working that day or I'd have helped you out. Hope you get sorted.

We married at a local registry office with just witnesses too.

Our witnesses were my dsis/bil and dh's dbro/sil. We both have multiple siblings, so just picked our favourites the ones that were most local. We asked them if they were busy just a couple of weeks before the day (we decided to get married, booked registry office for a Saturday late afternoon, and got married all within 6 weeks!). If the witnesses we asked were busy we would have not told them why and tried someone else.

After the service we took the 6 of us out for a nice meal and some champagne, then went home. dsil bought us a tiny 5 inch wedding cake as a surprise which was lovely.

It was nice going out with someone after, is that something you would consider?

And congratulations / good luck whatever you decide to do!

I stay 5miles from Paisley 😊

I work in Paisley so can help if you are stuck.

Matilda2013 · 08/02/2023 18:59

Oh I was so excited that I could possibly help but unfortunately I’m working that day! Good luck!

Ihatewashingdishes · 08/02/2023 19:12

That would be amazing if you could help us out, we would really appreciate it. It would actually be at 1.30pm which might be more suitable for you with work! Is it ok to pm you? 🙂

I'm local! I'd love to help - actually been a secret witness before! - so please add me to your waiting list.

Ihatewashingdishes · 08/02/2023 22:20

@BuddyLocal I can't believe how common it is! Thank you, would it be ok to get in touch if one of the other witnesses for any reason can no longer make it? 😊

@BrokenWing Awww this sounds so lovely! 😊 It's not something we are considering. We had already planned to have a small wedding with a selected number of people but last weekend decided to cancel it and get married this way. So unfortunately not an option. Thanks for the thought though!

@Ihatewashingdishes of course! Very happy to be a second or third stand by.
However it pans out have lots of fun organising and let us know how it goes!

RJnomore1 · 09/02/2023 23:54

Aw I’d have loved to but I’m in holiday! Plus you have people now but I hope you have a lovely day.

@Ihatewashingdishes weirdly I just remembered about you this morning! How did the secret wedding go?!!!!

Ihatewashingdishes · 22/09/2023 08:05

@BuddyLocal hahaha 😊 it went really well thanks to two lovely people from here! Exactly how we wanted it, so glad we done it that way.
