    I have tried to book my wedding date with the registrar today only to find out there are none available. The date is much more important for us than the venue. What can we do ? Any helpful ideas greatly appreciated.

    What about getting married in another area that's close to you? We got married 30 mins away so was classed as a different district, and maybe look at local venues there?
    Not sure what else u can do unless you hope for a cancellation but that's not always possible, I know ppl break up etc but could be months down the line and obviously you need to sort other things out.
    Think the only other option is if you do a church wedding but again that's not what we wanted x

    one of my good friends had this problem so they had a minister who was happy to travel to the venue where they were getting married they did a service which was just like a proper wedding but they weren't officially married (none of the guests knew because it was like a proper service) and then had the reception etc and when they got back from there honeymoon they popped down to the registry office nothing fancy just in their casual clothes and said the vows at a table and signed the register, i know it would suck not actually being a married couple on the big day but you still get to keep your day then

    Some friends recently got married on the Friday and on the Saturday had one of the registrars from the iow over to the mainland to conduct a blessing. Is that an option for you if someone from another area can come on the actual day as you said its the date that is important

    I would suggest other areas, perhaps even abroad (budget allowing and if you would even consider it of course)

    I do think that may be the best option, if like you said the venue isn't as important x
