    Whoever you want

    Bridesmaids
    Bestman
    Parents
    Grown up children
    Siblings
    Close friends
    Your next door neighbours
    Random person off the street
    Work collegues

    As long as there is two of them and they are old enough to know what they are doing (some areas define this as 16/18) your wedding is legal.

    Did a quick search on the ol' internet, and as per our little chat, I believe it's anyone over the age of 16.

    We had two close friends who weren't in the wedding party. We chose one each (mine was my brother, the other was my husbands best female mate)

    I hadn't even thought about this. Do they have to have special seats in the registry office?

    I've just rang my auntie who is my best friend, shes everything to me, and has been the most supportive woman ever. I love her so much. My mum has been the most unsupportive person about the wedding so I am not having her, she ought to be honoured she's still mother of the bride at the moment.

    my adopted mum is my witness, (also being my auntie) Lorraine. Don't know who the h2b will choose. hope its someone that means something to him!

    Jamies brother is his best ban, but his sister is signing ours because his other sister is a bridesmaid. Just so shes not left out :)

    i think it is better having people other than the best man and bridesmaid as they all ready have jobs so its nice to include other people

    I'm having my best male friend and he is having his oldest friend, they've known each other since they were 2. We wanted to have people who were special to us to have a part to play, as laticschick said it's nice to include people who dont already have a role.

    were having one of my best friends (i have 3 and the other 2 friends am using their daughters as my flower girls)

    and h2b is either having his nan depending on if she is still here with us/well enough or his best friend as he is not the best man so want to give him a role to keep him sweet

    I haven't even thought about it but I think laticschick is right and ask others who mean something but havent already got a role in the wedding. x

    We wanted to have people who didn't already have a role so we have asked our friends who are married & my partner is godfather to their oldest son & they've just asked me to be godmother to their newborn. They're really close friends & I liked the idea of having a couple who were married sort of like good role models of marriage if you like. X

    i havent thought about this yet but im confused as to where they stand as i went to my cousins wedding recently and their witnesses stood next to them all thru the ceremony as well as signing reg and in every pic (signing etc) which i thought was a bit silly but other than that the last wedding i went to i was about 7 so cant remember it haha. Thinking about it tho i would like my nan to sign it as my mum is obv MOB and my dad will be walking me down aisle and my nan has been like a second mum to me but i dont know if it would be easy for her cos she in a wheelchair and i know she self conscious about it then again im sure she would love to do it!! ry can pick other one!!

    My mum and my mother in law. Sounds weird but everyone else is involved in the ceremony somehow so thought it would be nice to get them to be my witnesses :) x

    we are having our Mums too so that they have an actual role in the ceremony. Fil2b is going to do a reading and obviously my Dad is walking me down the isle. So they all get a wee part to play!
