If you were getting married but not telling anyone…..

[Idrankyourbananamilk]

……what would you wear?

For context, DP and I have thrown this idea around a bit over the years. Many reasons for this, but the likely scenario is we would get two witnesses off the street and just do it at the registry office, have a nice dinner to ourselves then never tell anyone.

Just a bit curious, if you ever considered doing this (or can let your imagination run riot now!) what would you wear? Weddingy type dress? Jumpsuit? Jeans?! Has anyone done this and what did you choose for your outfit?

I wore a white cotton summer dress, a flower crown & champagne ballet flats. It was just the two of us. Went for a pint afterwards.

We intend to marry with just us and 2 witnesses and not tell anyone. I intend to wear jeans, t-shirt and converse like any other day. We are only doing it for legal reasons, been together 25+ years and have 2 kids in their twenties.

We did this! I wore a dark green velvet dress from Monsoon. Roses and ivy in my hair. (29 years ago!)

This one from asos! Will have a veil as well as we are having a professional photographer (despite it being just the two of us!)

I think I'd be tempted to wear something like this

Thank you, this is excellent advice. I’m bookmarking that floral comb too!

DH and I did it 10 days ago! Just us & two friends as witnesses followed by a nice lunch. Just how we wanted it 😊

After getting some great ideas from lovely people on this board I wore this dress from Hobbs:

We did this two years ago. Just us, our kids and two mumsnet witnesses. I wore jeans and blouse, my husband wore a suit 😆.

Oh good! I imagine there are lots more pictures online - you get a really good mix - we were one of about ten couples that got married that day and it went from full wedding dress and wedding party to jeans and flipflops, it was lovely to see.

Those haircombs are so lovely that I might have to buy one and just wear it round the house

Namechanged to share this - my wedding last month, we got married at Old Marylebone town hall, and had two photographers who were also our witnesses. It was lovely 🥰 My dress was a vintage one from eBay - I didn’t want to spend £££ and you get more dress for your money vintage!

You have an opportunity to wear exactly what you want.

So, fill your boots!

This is exactly what we did, 14 years ago. I wore a pink jasper conran mini dress from Debenhams. It is the kind of thing I liked. I had no notion to look bridal or anything. Just wear whatever you fancy.

Such a beautiful photo Dondeesta ❤️

I wore jeans, Converse & a Ramones T-shirt! Wear whatever makes you feel good.

I'd wear something lovely, but that you can wear again for special occasions (so possibly not white). That way, you and DP can share the meaning to it when you wear it, even if nobody else knows.

I wore a short white lace wedding dress from ASOS and white converse. DH wore a suit.

We got married in the town hall with a few friends and family and then went to the pub.

Dd had a full circle crown ...she was wearing it around Padstow a couple of days later (we'd hired a bell tent site in Cornwall).

Congratulations what a beautiful picture ❤️

I wore a dress from Hobbs.
