How do I go about booking the registrar for my wedding?
We just booked our wedding day for 30th of July 2010. How do I go about booking the registrar and what to expect? Do I ring first or go in? Things like that.
We live in Devon in the UK so answers from people near here would be great. Other answers welcome to. Thanks

Hi hun, I’m in Devon too! And i just got married on the 20th June! And i’m pregnant, due Dec 17th! how weird! Anyway, I found out the home number of the reverend for our parish church and rang him first, he went through the legal questions like ‘have either of us been married before’ etc and basically just said that the date was fine etc and arranged an initial meeting with us for a few weeks later (he came to our house), where we went through our reasons for wanting to get married, the fees, banns form etc. We then had another two meetings at home nearer the time and a rehearsal 3 days before at the church. It might be slightly different depending on where the ceremony is, eg in a hotel, ours was a church wedding, but i would still say get hold of a local (or a couple of local) vicars first of all and just ring them for an initial chat to see if they can do the date, if they are prepared to travel to your venue and what fees will be etc? I didnt know what to expect either but ours was very helpful. Congratulations on setting the date! Its so exciting, i’m still buzzing! xx
