​
P.S. Don't forget my service includes a free tree from Gift a Tree planted in your name in Tiverton, Devon 🌳🌿 with a commemorative personalised certificate emailed to you.
Rain? No problem!
Despite all your best plans yes it can and will rain during your outdoor ceremony. But the show must go on! Make sure you have back up plans, people who can help you on the day and guests who have spare jackets and plenty of umbrellas!
Don't forget!
A wedding celebration led by a celebrant is separate from a legal marriage by a registrar. To get married in a UK registry office, contact your local registrar via the council.
Ask for a Statutory Ceremony (2+2) or a simple ceremony. Book your civil ceremony with a registrar ASAP to know the requirements and give notice. In a Statutory Ceremony, personal vows and ring exchange are optional.
​
I recommend you look into organising this immediately, whilst booking your celebrant.
