Hi snow,
You could consider a private ceremony. I have been advised by the NCS I used that it would take about half an hour (though I can't confirm that from experience), so might be easier for you.

You could consider a private ceremony
Beware, You have to pay a fee if it is private and it is free if its together other applicants.

Hi Dr Logic,
Fee varies council to council. Some have it declared on their website. Might be worth checking the one relevant to you. Luton for example charges 75 per applicant and 100 per couple.
