Congratulations 🎊. I wish you a long and happy life together.

I wonder if you post nearer the time. I wouldn't want to commit then let you down as I have family responsibilities with elderly fathers. Someone posted on Tuesday for Wednesday this week and found someone.

Very exciting though.

I've been a witness at a MNetter's wedding. It was lovely.

Have a great time and congratulations.

How on earth do you hire a witness? Not being rude, I am genuinely curious.

I love seeing witness requests on here… it makes up for AIBU etc x

I did it for a Mnetter a few years ago, even took The DC (half term)
It was lovely and a real honour

I always open these excitedly hoping it will be my area, but it never is!

Good luck OP and look forward to update!!

Yes, me too!
How do you hire a witness? And how can I get a job as one?
When my girls were little they really wanted to be bridesmaids but had no prospects. I seriously thought about trying to advertise their services. Didn't though, so they never did get to be bridesmaids.

Hi yes we did we managed to get 2 people off the street who were the nicest folk from America father and daughter. There were loads of people at that time in the morning it was amazing and we approached them and after a few mins of introductions away we went good luck 🤞

I work in the same building as a register office and a number of my colleagues have been emergency witnesses in the past. One of our volunteers stepped up just yesterday!

Your witnesses are going to remember your wedding as a magical holiday moment for years to come. You'll be famous in their home town!
