I have declared victory on my campaign to get mother's names on marriage certificates.

I saw! I'm so very very pleased for you! Thanks

It's a shame it's been lumped in with a lot of vagueness around being family friendly and other pap which will probably come to nothing. I do support this change and it will be good if it comes to pass. That said, I have nothing but contempt for politicians who'll spend the next 6 months or so spewing out non-committal populist soundbites.

Yes I wasn't expecting it today! I will have to keep on the case to make sure the Home Office actually do it now!

I'm so happy about this, I've been following this campaign and emailing about it so I'm so chuffed it's actually happening.
Just annoyed that my mum can't be on my marriage certificate as I'm getting married in October.

QisforQcumber · 19/08/2014 19:49

Congratulations. Really excellent news.

Oh well done! I only married this year at age 45 and was surprised to find the father only thing. Very good.

Ilovexmastime · 25/08/2014 10:43

I missed all this, but just wanted to add my congratulations too. You should be very proud of yourself.
