Hi folks, my GF and I have eloped to Scotland.
we are currently freaking out because we don’t have any witnesses - if any of you lovely people can spare 30mins we need you at the council chambers Wednesday 26 February (tomorrow) at 2pm.
drinks are on me afterwards!!

Awwww that's so lovely. I can't as I'm in London but just wanted to wish you a wonderful wedding a fabulous future together. It's my birthday tomorrow and I'll be thinking of you both.

I am wfh tomorrow or I definitely would ! Good luck

AncoraAmarena · 25/02/2025 11:26

Sadly, I am nowhere near Edinburgh but just wanted to say that I hope you find people and that you have a lovely day!

This is fabulous!! Im no where near unfortunately but just wanted to wish you a fantastic wedding day!

I’m 30 minutes from Edinburgh. I could arrange childcare and it would be such an honour to be your witness! I’m also 16 weeks pregnant so you’d have extra support! 🥰

And it's meant to be good luck to have a pregnant woman at your wedding!

MrsGhastlyCrumb · 25/02/2025 11:49

Good luck! Unfortunately I'm working out of town tomorrow or I would. What a lovely thread to read.

OOOH, lovely
I am too far but had the honour of doing this for a MNetter a few years ago.
I took the DC too and we all had brunch afterwards
Hope it goes well and congrats OP!

amber763 · 25/02/2025 15:45

I love threads like this and that two lovely people have already volunteered! Congratulations on your wedding ❤️

Alltheyellowbirds · 25/02/2025 15:45

The City Chambers will usually provide witnesses if you don’t have any - they’ll just go grab a couple of members of staff from an office. If you call them now and warn them it’ll give them time to sort.

Repost on Scotsnet. There are a few folk there that might be able to pop along! Congratulations!

Hoppinggreen · 25/02/2025 16:00

Yes, pop it on Scotsnet too.
At the one I did one witness didn't turn up but luckily they had a spare.
