Getting married in Gretna in 2 weeks. Does anyone know how hard it is to get a couple of witnesses?
We heard you can just grab people off the street but is it as simple as that?
Any info would be much appreciated |

It is as simle as that, We did it 4 years ago, walked 20 metres across to the shops and the first two people we asked were more than happy to help out. locals are well used to being asked. Have a great day |

We got married in Gretna a couple of years ago and when we were in the registry office putting the bands up. We were asked to be witness for a couple which we did. |

"It is that simple. I used to be a registrar and we often got people off the street. Sure lots of people wandering round Gretna would be over the moon to be witnesses. X"
Brilliant. So we'll just kidnap a couple
Thanks |

If they're good looking....you could always bribe them with the offer of helping you start your marriage with a bang  |

They can be witnesses - just some registrars are funny about it! Pretty miserable of them really. I have been a witness when my colleagues did weddings more times than I can remember.

Ended up a witness to a couple from northern Ireland whose best man missed the ferry
Looked the part in my hi viz and rigged boots |

It really really is that simple, and noone bats an eyelid as its normal down there.
We got married there nearly 15 years ago, but only eloped from Lockerbie and took immediate family with us so we had our witnesses anyway x |
