Recording the event A photograph album is a very special memento and we are happy to allow photographs by an official photographer (or nominated photographer if you are using a friend) during your ceremony, you may also video the event if you wish. Parking The amount of parking varies according to where you have chosen to hold your ceremony. Please discuss what is available with the venue you have chosen to ensure there are no stresses on the day. For information on parking at our ceremony rooms please refer to our website (www.westsussex.gov.uk). Interpreter It is essential that you both fully understand the content of your marriage or civil partnership ceremony, and therefore the full legal implications of such a contract. If there are any language difficulties, you must provide a suitable interpreter to attend with you who will sign a declaration to confirm that they have translated all content for you, and are satisfied that you understand the nature and purpose of the ceremony. If you used an interpreter when you gave your notice of intent you must also use one in the ceremony although you don’t have to use the same person on both occasions. The Ceremony Saying “I do” in front of friends and family can be a nerve-wracking event but the registrars will be on hand to help you every step of the way. They will guide you through everything you need to do or say, so there is no need to worry about forgetting your lines or doing things in the wrong order!
The ceremony will begin with a welcome by the registrar. The couple will be asked, in turn, to repeat a number of solemn declarations, which will be the choices you made for your legal declarations and contracting words (your vows) and your promises. Certificates At the end of your ceremony, you will be presented with a commemorative certificate. Legal certificates are sent out in the post once the registrar has completed the legal formalities following the ceremony. For marriages and civil partnership signings in the statutory West Sussex Register Office, no commemorative certificates are issued. One legal certificate will be sent out in the post following the completion of the legal formalities. If you require further certificates, these can be ordered after your ceremony has taken place via the website www.westsussex.gov.uk/
