Wedding

    I attended a wedding ceremony a year ago and as the best man to the groom was late arriving I was asked to fill the place.As it was a small wedding there was only a handful of people there and at the time I was intoxicated and do not recollect what documents I signed.

    I am just wondering would this affect the legitimacy of the wedding and should I speak with a registrar in relation to this.

    I feel that I was put on the spot and I have since heard that the registrar on the day did not want to perform the ceremony as she felt it was a sham marriage but the bride and groom insisted to go ahead.They are still together but not sure if they are happy but I'm kicking myself now I don't remember anything.

    Any advice would be great.

    What's the actual concern? That you weren't compos mentis when you signed the documents, and that might affect the legality of the document, or that you were asked to do something you weren't comfortable with?

    And what's your aim in reviving all of this? Do you want to basically unmarry the couple or just get it off your chest?

    OP this really isn't your problem. The couple were aware of the registrars concerns and decided to proceed anyway. It doesn't sound like you actually have any new information to share with them?

    What are you trying to achieve here? If you signed something it was probably signing as a witness to the marriage.

    The couple are still together, whether they are happy or not is not for you to judge. I can't imagine they will be too happy if you try and do something to declare their marriage null and void, when they have remained together.
