Hi PDLM, thanks so much for checking. The entire process has actually been completed (i.e. the formal marriage at the Marriage Registry has already taken place within the 3 months of obtaining the Licence to Marry). So, in actual fact, the couple is already married. They basically want to put together a celebration with a dinner with a wedding ceremony for invited guests, where they are able to say their own vows to each other etc, etc... (only family members were present at the actual Marriage at the Registry).
It was the same case for me - I was legally married at the Marriage Registry at the end of last year, but went abroad for a destination wedding the month after, where we had someone acting as a celebrant and all the things that go with a wedding (i.e. walking down the aisle, saying our vows, being pronounced husband and wife, confetti throwing etc, etc...).
Therefore, as the couple is already husband and wife, I guess I'm looking for someone who is willing to act as the celebrant and go through the entire wedding ceremony process for them - in this case he/she does not necessarily have to be a licenced Wedding Celebrant.
I'm guessing that this type of scenario does not often happen in Hong Kong?
Shobha, thanks so much for offering to take on this role. Let me discuss with the couple and will get back to you.
Thanks.
