Why Government killjoys are trying to ban wedding day pictures

Here here to that Hepburn. In America you are free to do as you please - so long as you do it their way :-)
 
although i'm no fan of the govt , this is a complete non story - people have been photographing dummy registers and staged signing for years. This is just a typical Daily fail hype about **** all situation

I'm sure if they tried really hard they could discover that its all the fault of a single parent , muslim , dole scrounging terrorist paedophile

(edit - I didn't notice the date of the original story , but the comment still stands)

Talk about a thread being revived from the dead!

It was actually funny to read the comments posted here through, it's apparent a lot of the posters hadn't bothered to read the actual story (or the more rational comments here) and just posted based on the fake headline.

Using it as justification for moving to the USA to escape was the best one though :lol:.
 
Yet another pointless made up story from the daily fail.
As people have already pointed out it's the norm to shoot a fake register shot, has been for years. What next from the joking paper... it going to gets dark at night... rains getting wet... etc etc.
 
Well, its also incorrect. I did a wedding a few months ago and was told you could photograph the actual one, recent change I think.

That's kind of the point, it's down to individual interpretation, there are no rules (except made up local ones).

The register itself is a matter of public record - the idea that there's a data protection issue is laughable. Anyone on this board is free to walk into the local register office and purchase a copy birth / marriage / death certificate of any other member they know the name of, people do it all the time for relatives and friends, but there's no onus to prove you're entitled to have a copy. It's where serious identity fraud begins, it's amazing the doors a birth certificate will open, and they're freely available :nuts:

Back to the OP though (as if it matters), forever in these parts, registrars have insisted on a dummy register, most vicars never bother, there's really more concern over someone marking the book than any data protection issue.
 
ive also come across rules about not being able to photograph the actual act of signing because 'it a legal act' which sounds like registrar BS to me
 
It's FIVE YEARS since this story was first posted, pretty sure there are still wedding togs working out there. :thinking:

it was cobblers 5 years ago as well - dummy registers have been prevalent much longer than that.
