  • First and foremost, she emphasized the importance of being prepared. Both partners' original IDs, as well as copies, are essential. She also advised bringing pens because you’ll need to fill out forms on-site. One common misconception she cleared up was about choosing your wedding date. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t get to pick the exact date—instead, you’re assigned the next available slot in the marriage bookings book.

    Another important detail she mentioned is that only one partner needs to be present to make the booking, as long as all the necessary documents are brought along. This flexibility can be a lifesaver for couples juggling busy schedules.
