My sister and her partner are two young teachers who have a new little baby and a big new mortgage!
They would like to get married but can't afford to in this country. Both of them have always wanted to visit New York so they thought 'what the hell, let's get married there next year'! They have asked us to go along as witnesses, which we would be delighted to do (it would just be the 4 of us). Do any of you know anyone who has gotten married in New York? Are there registry offices like over here, or can you get married in different types of place? Do you have to be in the country a certain amount of time before a ceremony can take place? I remember that my husband and I had to wait a week before our wedding in the Caribbean. Obviously my sister will do all the proper research, but as she doesn't have internet access I thought I'd get a head start on here! Many thanks.

We just returned from a week in New York City and it was fabulous. I am not certain what they want for a wedding, but a couple of friends for witnesses seems to be like a civil ceremony to me.
We stayed at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers in Manhattan, excellent location and prices. Central park is a beautiful place for a wedding, and the horse drawn carriages are everywhere around for a nice ride.
Google is your friend for this research.

Many thanks!
Let me get this straight, they cant afford to get married in the UK but they can afford to get married in NYC?
I assume they mean that if they get married in the UK they will have to have a reception,feed and water a lot of people..... if they go to New York it's just the four of them??
Its not compulsory to invite all ones friends, family and neighbours to a wedding in the UK. Thats where a whole lot of people go wrong
Hi firestars ... lardylegs is asking for specific advice about getting married in New York. Assuming that you are unable to provide that advice, it may be best left to those who can, rather than take discussion off in another direction.
