    In a word YES!!

    No matter where you get married to make it legal the paper work is the same, so you will need two witnesses who are at least 16 years old to sign hunni!

    do you have to actually ask people to be witnesses or do you just pick a couple of people who are there at the ceremony on the day? xXx

    well my mum is a bit of a fruit loop (not in a funny nor medical way!) so not sure if she will be there so I think a nice combination will be my dad and his mum (since h2b is torn between his step dad is an utter breast but has been there his whole life or his actual dad who seems ok but not really been there for him) lol gotta love families!

    xXx
