    had to keep rearranging our notice appointment due 2 h2bs work and are now booked in for wed which is 2 days after our time period, contacted registry office 2 let them no and they confirmed all was find and they will still keep our date... ........

    had a call today from photographer to say he called reg office 2 confirm photo set up, space etc and theyve released the date and rebook some1 else!!!!!!!1 arrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Yeah they should still be able to fit you in but the time will probably have to change. I totally agree that its bang out of order though what they've done.

    Is there another registry office nearby who could accomodate you? We have about 6 near us to choose from in neighbouring towns so maybe there is another option for you to consider? :(

    what bank holiday is it hun - 28th Jan is my birthday lol, if they verbally said they would keep the date for you as you struggled to give notice, surely they should honour that, and they should ring the bride and tell her that they made a mistake and that she needs to change her date!

    ok so against my more sensible judgement weve called the other bride.............. she's been brill.....

    she originally wanted a slightly later date but her venue wanted £100 more for a june date..... so now she's changing to the 11june so we can have 28th may back and were paying the £100 difference for her which i think is a small price to pay to keep our plans on track!!!

    she only lives 4 streets away from me so she's popping round in the morning to sort it all!!!! phew!!!!!!!!!

    am bk 2 being excited!!! x x x

    So glad she was understanding and £100 is a small price to pay as you will have lost a lot more than that by cancelling!

    Its really bad though the blatant disregard for privacy the the R/O and how they didn't give a crap any of the circumstances regarding the notice! They said it would be OK for you to delay it 2 days they had no right to cancel on you!

    wow so glad you were able to get that soughted, just have to wait till the morning for her to come over for you to sought out the finer details, That registry office needs a good telling off now for leaving personal details on show (although in this case it was a kinda good thing) lol

    Just in case it doesnt work out with the other bride changing her date, another option you could consider would be to marry at a different Register Office? You dont have to marry at the one in the district where you live xx
