If you're getting married in the near future, chances are you've already done a deep dive into the world of wedding dresses, venues and caterers. However, if you're planning on having a registrar wedding, Georgina Rose, who plans big days, is urging couples to make sure they know details about their partner and family, as you might not be allowed to get married otherwise.
She said in a TikTok video: "Before a registrar wedding, you have to have an interview. This interview is a totally non negotiable, must have, must do, legal requirement. "You will have a meeting with the registry office before your wedding, like weeks before, whatever. They will ask you questions at that meeting that will then come up again on your wedding day. AKA you need to remember the sh*t you said.".
She went on to explain the questions asked by the registry office could range from anything including your name, where you live, your job, about previous relationships and make sure you do want to get married. Georgina added: "And they will ask you questions like 'what does your partner's parents do for work?' 99% of the information was absolutely fine, but I got stuck when they were like 'what does your parents do for work?'.
"Yes, I did have to text my parents to say 'what is your job title?' Then on the wedding day itself, you will have an interview with the registrar and your partner will have an interview with the registrar. The groom is typically half an hour before the ceremony, and the bride is typically 15 minutes, like literally just before the ceremony.".
