I had my daughter and a friend as witnesses. My daughter had her step-father (although she refuses to call him that, she says he's her dad!) and her future father-in-law.

We had our mothers sign as witnesses - it was a nice way to get all the parents involved.

I hope that blood relatives are allowed to 'sign' as I have my niece doing us the favour. caz x
