Registry office wedding

[TCwedding]

Hi guys
I'm getting married, 2nd time around for us both. I'm not into being centre of attention and don't want a big hoohah!. We are staying in a hotel together the night before the wedding. I plan to get ready in another room and HTB not see me until the registry office. Do we meet out side and walk down the aisle together, or be in the room ready and guests join in. What's the norm?
My dad wants to give me away so thinking he can be my witness without walking me down the "aisle". Do I have to walk down the aisle?
Thanks for your thoughts x

Registry office protocol

I think you can do it anyway you want really.

If you want to walk in once your partner is already inside and have your dad give you away then I really can't see that this would be an issue.

It's up you, we got married at the registry office because neither of us wanted the attention/fuss and were told that is pretty much down to preference.

We met outside and came in together with our guests (parents, siblings, grandparents and our kids) and just walked to the front as they found their seats.

I ended up holding a clingy 18 month old on my hip through the whole thing so it was all relaxed

Thank you x

I'm a registrar, you can enter separately, your Fiance can be seen first to do pre wedding checks and then once he is inside the ceremony room with guests you can enter and do your pre wedding checks, you can have bridesmaids and page boys etc and be escorted by who ever is giving you away

Check with the Register Office what their protocol is? 18 years ago DH and me had to meet the registrar in the office first for some formalities and walked into the main celebration room where our families had assembled, together and from a special "side door" but other places may be different.

Thank you. Much appreciated x

You have to do the formalities first. Which we did separately and I walked in by myself but could have had whoever. If you want to walk in together ours let you do that. It could be as relaxed as we wanted it to be as long as the formalities were done.

Thank you all. After the unfriendly and cold experience today giving our notice, we will walk in together as a support act 🙂. X
