Registering a civil partnership

[sorryiasked]

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
DB & "DSIL" have decided to register a civil partnership. They are not having a ceremony - it's just an act of 'housekeeping'.
Can anyone confirm that this just means they will be given a document to read which they and two witnesses then sign? Is there anything else to it?

That’s the minimum, along with a short declaration that they are legally free to enter in to one. I’m having a civil partnership in April and we’re doing as little as possible. We have invited close family and a few friends to come to the signing, followed by a meal out. We are having a few songs played during the signing because we can, because we love the songs, but we’re not having a reading and have cut out all the statements that are not legally required.
I’ll dig out my pack and find the legal declaration

I need to clarify with the registrar myself what has to be said and what can be discarded tbh. There’s a legal declaration then there’s a load of other ‘Promises’ which I don’t want to say if I don’t have to. They’re not particularly well written and I’m not sure I’ll be able to say them with a straight face 😂

But you do need two witnesses

I’ve just read the top of the pack and it says it’s only the legal declaration that’s require and cannot be changed or omitted. All other options are optional

Thank you - they are not having any type of ceremony at all and as such are only allowed the two witnesses, noone else is permitted to attend and this it's causing issues with certain family members. I was just trying to confirm that they wouldn't actually be missing anything apart from four people signing their name!

That’s pretty much it, a declaration and a signing of the contract, with the two witnesses. Everything else is optional.

I’m only inviting close family because I know there will be sulking if I don’t tbh. My friends are there to act as an escape from my crazy family 😂 And it’s an excuse for an indulgent meal, but we’re just booking a table at a restaurant, not having a formal sit down with speeches etc
