So today we went to the local registry office and gave notice of intent to marry! Now it really does feel real. So we've got to wait til 1st August for the confirmation and then will get the pack through from the registrar!
Was really nervous when they split us up - worried what questions they would ask, but it was really straightforward..
Another big thing done

CommentAuthorHelenW
thanks all. yep sure is daunting - my h2b has got a rubbish memory so was panicking he'd forget something! He said though she didnt ask him many questions and just got him to confirm yes/no my answers! Must be used to the males forgetting!

How exciting!! Not long to go now, I didn't realise they asked questions. What type of things do they ask?
CommentAuthor*KelBel*
I've been told they ask dates of births,professions/what ur partner does for a living etc...

CommentAuthorThe-Future-Mrs-B
I've got to wait till Sept next year for this stage, my fella can't remember my exact birthday or any other significant date, I always have to remind him a few days before lol
CommentAuthorHappyBunny
Lol im sure we can go and give notice next month is it within 12 months of your wedding date? Xx
CommentAuthorsarah
Yay!!!
CommentAuthorMrs Cartwright
HappyBunny our council suggest you do it between 1 month before to 12 months before as the licences only last for one year and for your specific venue xx
CommentAuthorbendy_jendy
Woohoo...how exciting x
CommentAuthorHelenW
Sorry everyone logged off yesterday!
They asked me - date of birth, address, ever married before etc, then his date of birth, address. Both our professions with what sort of company. Oh and my dads name and profression. Asked for id to prove name and id to prove address. It was pretty straightforward.oh and date, time and location of the wedding.
You can give notice anytime as long as its less than 12 months before (its only valid for 12 months).
I was asking neil the questions on the way in the car to make sure he knew! Xx

CommentAuthorSusie
fab, thanks for the info Helen! Was beginning to think we needed to revise!!! Didn't realize you could go for it up to 12 months before. My H2B works seasonally, so we might try and get it done before he finishes the season in November.
CommentAuthorvicki
If you are getting married in Scotland it works differently and you can't give notice until 3 months before the wedding
CommentAuthorHappyBunny
Mite get us booked in soon then xx
CommentAuthorMelissaLarner2b
We gave notice last Thursday and strangely makes it feel really real now :) exciting times :)
CommentAuthorValentinaK
I'm giving notice at an entirely different registry office to that of my H2B... due to where we're both from and where our permanent addresses are... his is base, mine is back home... its weird!
Anyway, am not worried. Just don't want to have to pay!
And we lived happily ever after!
CommentAuthorMelissaLarner2b
There's nothing to worry about :) and no I didn't want to pay, that £70 could have been put to better use elsewhere! lol. Its nice to now have the booklet to choose readings and vows and so on and so on. 1.30pm 12/07/14 officially booked :)
CommentAuthor*The NewMrsMalin*

When you get knocked down; smile and pick yourself up again!
Fight for what you believe in!
CommentAuthorHelenW

CommentAuthorMelissaLarner2b
I was given the pack on the day of giving notice, we then went for a meal in local pub and the booklet came in with us! lol. Trouble is with me is I keep jumping from one thing to another with the things that need sorting and i'm stressing myself to much doing so!! An excited stress! lol. xx
CommentAuthorVickyB70
Oh god this sounds scary lol! I thought you just turned up paid and left lol! Is there anything else you need to do legally apart from the banns readings before the wedding? Do we both just go to our local registry office to where we live or where we grew up? All this official stuff is confusing! x
CommentAuthorYvetteB91
im a little confused now too after reading this lol. i stay in scotland and i have booked the register for the wedding and have the forms so i have no idea what this is all about really??? never been told about it. plus i dont know much about the readings and such do you get all that??? xxx
Forever & Always, You & I
CommentAuthorVickyB70
I've been totally silly lol I don't need to give notice cuz I'm getting married in church!! Feel stoopid x
CommentAuthorHelenW
What bit are you confused about yvette? Can try and help? Might be different in Scotland? X

CommentAuthorYvetteB91
well we was never told that we had to go in and answer questions or anything, just that we had to pick up our forms and hand them back in with in the 3 months. think im going to phone tomorrow and ask :/ xxx

CommentAuthorHelenW
hmm that is odd. i'd give them a ring - when you send the form in does that include any id etc? xx

CommentAuthorLauraE67
we went to give notice on Friday, like you say seems more real now, i was also worried about what they would ask but all was fine x
CommentAuthorYvetteB91
yeah we need to take the norm stuff for id, but form says only one of us need to take them in :/ xxx

CommentAuthorLauraE67
