Finally nearing the end of the stressful journey dealing with the Home Office. Emailed them last night (01/10/2019) requesting an update and had a response today saying I will receive a letter within 21 days. Decided to go back to the old correspondence address to check with the current occupants and the letter was there. I almost missed the deadline to book the ceremony with today being the last day to book it! The stress of it all just about made it and thankfully my council has online booking for ceremonies!
