Read Part 1 of our Civil Partnership- Before the Ceremony!
The Ceremony
After all getting ready at our house, we quickly drank our glass of rose Moet champagne and jumped in the taxi to the venue. As this was only to be our small ceremony, we chose to have our Civil Partnership at a local registry office and had only invited the closet friends and family. We can't wait to pick the venue and have a huge guest list of Americans and British family and friends when we have our big wedding in 2015.
When we arrived and met with the registrar, I think we nearly gave her a heart attack as she had never seen a couple quite like us- dressed the same and looking alike (in her eyes). To us it's obvious who's who, but all she could see was two blondes in the same dresses! It was pretty amusing, and sometimes she did get our names wrong. What surprised everyone was how lovely and romantic the vows were. What also surprised Whitney and I, was how nerve wracking it was to say them! It was overwhelming emotional, and if I saw her about to cry it set me off too- which is why you can see me laughing in one of the pictures.

You know, I hope and I pray that you believe me
When I say this love will never fade away
Oh because, you are the best thing
You are the best thing
You are the best thing
Ever happened to me"

We then went on to celebrate our Civil Partnership in true Wegan style- Champagne Afternoon Tea at the beautiful Danesfield House. Make sure to come back for Part 3 of our Civil Partnership!
