Myself and my partner are together 11 yrs . Living together 8 yrs and have 2 kids.
basically we do not like the attention organisation or anything really to do with a wedding but on the other hand we want our relationship legalised.
He is not a legal gaurdian to our kids. We are not each others next of kin .
So we have decided to get married in a registry office and tell no one. Our parents are constanlty annoying us about it too.
we have told my sister and niece and they are going to be our witnesses .
has anyone done this before.
also what do we wear. Might sound like a stupid question but it hadnt really crossed my mind yet.

If there's one thing I'd really advise: pay a professional photographer to get some couple and family photos. You don't want to be stuck with family member's blurry iPhone photos years down the line.

I hope you're having a wonderful day. I'm so glad your sister could make it.

thanks all for the well wishes. had an amazing day and night. everyone really enjoyed themselves. it was so relaxed (except the photos . so hard to organise the kiddies as so young, photographer got some good ones though and loads of fab ones taken by family)
so many people actually said it was the best wedding they have been to.

we had a fantastic time getting ready in our house. my *husband* stayed in his home house with our son and i stayed at home with our daughter, my best friend and my sis home from New Zealand.
we got up yesterday morning and met in my mum , other sis and my niece in hairdressers. it was lovely then back to my house where we got a big fry and met my brother and dad too.
then the men went to get sorted while we got dressed. it was great. having my mum, my 2 sisters , my niece , my best friwnd and my daughter.

cermony was lovely.
then back to clubhouse which we had decorated the previous day. met photographer and got pics done.
food was sorted, brought kids home to bed, dj set up, we danced then danced all night.
was a fab day and night.
im sooo tired now though. MIL has the kids now for a few nights and we are going away for a lil break.
everything went fab.

oh and as for SIL. she went to reg office. didnt speak to us. went back to club hpuse and sat there with a puss on her. her husband have us a gift and was chatting to us. she went home about 11 so i heard .
other SIL told husband that she is radiculous and totally out of line. husbands brothers partner said the same to me. ah well at least we didnt have to look at her sour face all night.
when dropping the kids to MIL yesterday her husband and kids were there . of course we were all talk about the wedding. he was listening with a smile on his face. i reckon he is a bit annoyed he missed most of it.

I've been following this thread and was hoping all would go well. Delighted you enjoyed it so much. Enjoy the few days together and congrats

Delighted for you Suucee, sounds like it was exactly what you both wanted, a lovely, happy and relaxed day.
Enjoy the few days away, more than well deserved.

great news enjoy your break now

Delighted it went well and you all had fun. I suspect sister in law is kicking herself for spending so much. She could still be in debt because of her day and have major regrets.

Have a great few days as newly weds

SIL and MIL sound like right weapons, they really have shown their true colours Succee - I feel terrible for you that you felt you had to apologise to those two wagons, when it was NOT your fault and then having to apologise over your PND! I'm glad you've sorted it now with MIL but that's the sort of thing that permanently damages the relationship you had with her and its all her fault.

I'm glad you had a wonderful day with your family, at the end of the day the most important thing now is you, your husband, and children

Ah I love a happy ending

Congratulations!!!
