Hi everyone,
I have been following this thread since I got approved in mid August. I have found everyone´s comments to be very useful and I wish everyone luck for their ceremonies.
I read about another user changing their address during this process and it confused me. I am planning on redirecting my mail (royal mail) to my new address but was wondering if I
had to change my ceremony council as well?
My current council, Brighton & Hove is only holding individual ceremonies and most likely will not do them online and they have a huge backlog. I am moving to London, where I have heard many people do online ceremonies.
I need some advise about whether I must change the council (because I´m moving) and if it would be a good idea to change? I know asking to change can complicate things but I don´t actually know the process and timeframes associated with it.
N.B I don´t mind travelling back to Brighton & Hove for the ceremony.
Thank you.
You don't have to change your ceremony council. Actually from what I've read here, people who asked to change, were ignored.
Each London Borough has its own council and its own way of doing ceremonies. Only a few of them doing online ceremonies.
Based on the baybars1's model, mid of August approved will be processed in the next two weeks so probably it is a bit late to do any changes anyway.
Mail redirection is important so make sure it is set up. I hope you are moving to part of London close to Southern or Thameslink station as from some parts of London getting to the right station takes longer than trip from London Bridge to Brighton. Good luck.
