ON THE DAY
CEREMONY DAY: MARRIAGE
Two Registration Officers will attend your
ceremony.
One Registration Officer is responsible for
ensuring that all the information entered into
the marriage register is correct on the day. He
or she will meet with you both in private, either
separately or together, to check that your personal
details are correct. Additionally, you will be asked
to give your father’s full name and occupation.
This can be your natural, adoptive or stepfather (if
you wish to share the details of your stepfather,
he must have, at some time, been married to your
mother). All details are recorded in the register
and on your marriage certificate. This is also the
time for you to pay the fees for your Standard or
Legal ceremony and your marriage certificate(s).
The second Registration Officer will be conducting
the ceremony. He or she will assist your guests
into the ceremony room and then return to meet
you. Both Registration Officers will be happy
to answer any last minute questions that you
may have about the ceremony or any of the
arrangements.
