Please..!!  Thanks Jane 

  • Hello and welcome.  You need to contact your local Register Officer to get a special licence; give them a ring tomorrow morning (or perhaps look at the council's website which may have the information you need).  I have never been involved in doing this but imagine you need something from your partner's doctor confirming his diagnosis and explaining he will not be able to make it to the Register Office if that is the case.  Go for it! I am sorry you are in this situation but you can do this.  Best wishes.  Annie
