hell yes! Which registry? (& what outfit do you require?)
my witnesses were picked up in a jacuzzi the day before (married abroad) and they were perfect.

Would love to but too far away but bumping your post. Have a fab day

PaisleyP · 31/10/2022 19:32

Oh I'd love to do this op. But I'd be heavily pregnant and would be worried about letting you down. But really hope you have a beautiful day and enjoy your future together Flowers.

Maybe say where abouts in London

I plan to do this too!
And come here and ask :)

PumperQuarter · 31/10/2022 19:34

I'm free and I'd do it! Which registry office?

metalanddust · 31/10/2022 19:36

I'm to far away but have wonderful memories of a lady knocking on my hotel room door in Scotland in the 90's ,asking if we would be her witnesses tomorrow if we were not busy.
It was a wonderful day.
Congratulations

Whoops that sent before I finished, we didn't want the big wedding and didn't want to upset anybody by choosing certain people, so we are hoping a couple of people wouldn't mind - and I of course would be happy to do it for anyone else😊 . I don't mind on outfits and thank you for replying so far

@metalanddust I'm not going to say I wasn't stressed about trying to find something suitable in a case load of walking gear
But it honestly was an amazing day and I send a card every year.
Such a lovely couple

Aw thank you! Is there a way to private message someone on here with the details to make sure time and place etc would work for them?

I did it for a lovely couple when the lady posted on here asking for witnesses not too far from me.
It was a Fantastic little ceremony and I even took my DC
Im nowhere near London but I would love to do it again

I had 2 Mumsnet witnesses at my wedding. They were lovely and I'm so glad they were part of my day. I just wished I'd got a picture of all of us.
