I may have let out a little squeal of delight when I saw a brown envelope with my name on it in the mailbox yesterday. When making my appointment I was told that Westminster City Council was only receiving 5 certificates a week rather than the 100 they use to before the summer... number of ceremonies reduced to once a month from weekly.

Good luck everyone!
