Went to register for my wedding today, and they refused me cause I dont have the right of abode form - I have indefinite leave to remain which is legally the same thing, right to abode is only new legislation, and I refuse to pay £135 for a piece of paper.

The registrar (Witts is his name) was having none of it, we got into a huge argument, he called the Immigration Nationale Directorate, who then said we can marry and I dont need the right to abode form, but he still refused me and rang his boss, who then told him that immigration was wrong! He passed me the form, and I explained to him that he needs to brush up on the law, because he clearly does not understand it - I am legally free to marry!

Soooo, to make a long story short, they didn’t know the law, I called the office they report to, who have decided that the head office is happy for me to get registered there, and the other office (Cottingham) can fuck right off (not in those words of course)! I rang and made sure that no one from that office will be attending my ceremony either.

So, after all of the tears, and that asshole registrar telling me I cant get married (I have already paid for nearly everything) I got in touch with another registrars office who are happy to do it and told me what I need to do to file a complaint and charge him for my time (£400 an hour is the going rate).

I am off to go for my dress fitting now, hopefully I will be calmed down by then…
