Registrars continued

An hour or so after I finish on the phone with the registrar, she calls me back to apologise for forgetting to tell me about the fee for them to come out and conduct our wedding. It's surprisingly large. I'd foolishly assumed that the registry fee was the bit mentioned by the venue as 'wedding fees' or something similar, but I'm now assuming that's just the universal hike-the-prices-up-a-bit-for-weddings that everyone seems to apply.

I wonder how much it costs just to go down to the registry office one afternoon, in our regular clothes, with a couple of witnesses in tow...

What a good idea. I approve of anything that makes weddings more fun and less paperwork.

It's also what most of my married pagan friends did. One couple I know, who were having a massive shindig for their Wiccan handfasting a few days later, apparently went to the registry office in old jeans and crumpled T-shirts and giggled all the way through the ceremony.
