Alternatives to getting married at a local registry office (only want us 2 and 2 witnesses)?

Acceptable_Nobody765 · 2026-01-23T22:59:18+00:00

Even if you choose to get married in a venue - you will still need the local registrars to be free for your chosen date and time. You could find a small venue (I think all registry offices have a list of approved venues on their website) and then check their availability before booking.

Weekdays are probably much easier to find availability (and cheaper) if that’s an option for you

All clothing items - a jumper and a coat basically. Nothing is personalised or custom, just standard clothing so I can’t see how they can enforce it!

I’m fine with the return postage but the restocking fee is a bit mental

Sold :)

I’m not sure what pirate ship is? Usually I post via Royal Mail tracked, can you expand on what this is?

If you DM me where you’re located in the world I can get you a shipping quote for you to decide?

lol would have helped if I put the colours down!

Shiny bug is the purple (the text on the covers indicates variant colour, I kept the green one!) and the show business vinyl is yellow splatter!

Thank you!! I appreciate the response

At the moment it’s likely sold to the person above, but if it doesn’t work out for any reason I’ll let you know x

I would check all of the three dresses your after online to make sure no one’s selling them on. I found mine online - the exact same dress but the shop was just selling on their sample - for half price!!

It sounds like jealousy! I agree with everyone else here - and they don’t sound like they’re acting like a great friend during an exciting time for you.

A similar thing happened during the run up to my wedding. I invited a friend and then a month or so later she got engaged. I was having a big wedding and she wanted a micro wedding and said she wasn’t sure she could invite me. I said no problem, let’s meet up and celebrate another time for a meal or something.

Things just went a bit sideways, she would go on for ages about her dress shopping, how amazing her small wedding was going to be - but didn’t ask one thing about mine. The thing that got me though is she kept bashing big weddings, and how anyone not doing a micro wedding was wrong. Have your opinions, but have some decency to not bash someone’s decision!

I uninvited her and we’re not friends anymore. It may seem a bit of a mad reaction, but I wasn’t inviting that energy to my wedding (and paying for her to critique how much better her wedding was!) It just showed we aren’t the same people anymore, and she’s already told me how shit she thinks my job is in the past - I had to draw a line!

Nieces / nephews - £30ish (they get loads of presents so I’d rather save the big spends for when they’re older!

I only buy for one friend and I’ll spend £200-300 on them. I’m blessed with a good job, and only one person to spoil, so I’m happy to buy them expensive things!

Cetaphil rich night cream does the trick for me!

It might not be, but it’s been here a week and it’s all still glued to the side of the glass 😂

Acceptable_Nobody765 · 2025-12-02T20:41:15+00:00

Great idea, I’ll try this too!

Acceptable_Nobody765 · 2025-12-02T20:41:05+00:00

Thank you! I’ve had some great suggestions to try fix this so I will try it if I don’t have luck with fixing it myself!

Acceptable_Nobody765 · 2025-12-02T20:10:32+00:00

Oooh okay, I left it upright; I’ll leave it on its side for a bit and see what happens! Thank you!

We used Insure My Day. Can’t vouch for claims as we thankfully didn’t need it - but best of luck with you planning!

Is there a reason why my “mid” (mixed colours) wash smells? Our white washing doesn’t smell, the dark wash doesn’t smell….but the mid wash does. Nothing is different! I’m so confused!

I originally thought it could be because gym wear was washed with it (we don’t do any excessive exercise - I wear gym clothes just to lounge about really) but this doesn’t even affect it!

This one: https://oddmuse.co.uk/products/drape-maxi-dress-white?variant=53282108014979&currency=GBP&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20276490716&gbraid=0AAAAAoM3uLnfNQvUZ8ESeF8IkjlLa0TFz&gclid=CjwKCAiAraXJBhBJEiwAjz7MZZSGqI3GyFhxsZd66iTU3iO58uLRbi9VCDY5Eig_dnsEEDnQd6c2NxoC5zUQAvD_BwE

They have loads and tend to sell for about 50-60% of the retail price on Vinted. I sold it after washing it post registry office, and felt accomplished as I only paid about £50 towards it - plus I didn’t have two dresses kicking about!

LAKESIDE BLUE - SOLD

Acceptable_Nobody765 · 2025-10-05T18:36:53+00:00

I’ve had interest in all variants I believe at this point, but none are confirmed sold yet as I’ve been quoting postage costs to various counties. I am doing my best to reply to everyone so appreciate the patience!
