We are getting married at a registry office, and we have booked the enhanced ceremony.... Apparently the enhanced ceremony allows you to have more guests in attendance, 2-3 reading if you wish, you can say your own vows too in addition to the legally required ones, and more time in the gardens for photos... Me and H2B are not the kind of people to write our own vows.....its just not us, its going to be as much as we can do to say the legal stuff, let alone additional stuff like that...... and we have been to weddings where the family read a poem......thats not really us either. But I was wondering, seeing as that IF we wanted , we could have either a family menber or the registrar read a poem, and we dont want a poem, but we would really like our parents mentioned somewhere in the ceremony.....about how they are no longer with us and please take a second to remember them.....or something like 'take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us.....' Do you think the registrar would do something like that? I know the family would be too embarrassed to do it in front of others, but it would mean a lot to us to have them mentioned.

Our registrar sent us a pack with loads of different options for words and readings etc, I think it properly would be depend on the registrar on the day, but I would'nt see why not. x

Yeah its not like I want them to do extra work....we are already forgoing the 2 readings we are allowed to have......its just really adding a little something in.....that we would like. If its not possible then i will raise a glass to them at the reception.... I have a wedding pack and will go have a read of it

its definately worth asking i cant see why not its your ceremony at the end of the day x
H2B lost his mum a long time ago (he was 17 and is now 50) , but i still think its important, but I only lost my parents fairly recently, and only a year apart from each other so its still pretty recent for me....thats why i want a mention really...

I cant see there being a problem the only thing they seem to object to is anything religious so you should be ok xx
CommentAuthorClareS
I don't think they'll have a problem with your request. They could mention them in the 'welcome' part where they say something along the lines of welcoming everyone in coming to share your day and maybe say and although not here in person, your parents are there in spirit? x
