We're now into the second week of our A to Z of council services.
F is for Family Milestones
Our registrars work hard to deliver a personal service. Responsible for registering births, deaths and marriages, their job can be emotional.
鈥淚 really love my job,鈥 said Registrar Shona Brechin, 鈥淣o two days are ever the same and I like the fact that we get to help people at both the happiest and most difficult times of their life.鈥
Since 2002 people have been able to get married anywhere.
Shona said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e really lucky in P站色情片 and Bute because of the huge variety of stunning locations on offer. It also gives us the opportunity to see the length and breadth of P站色情片 and Bute whilst we work.鈥
But being a registrar isn鈥檛 a 9 to 5 job.
鈥淲e conduct around 600 marriages a year, Shona said. 鈥淲e鈥檝e had ceremonies at all times, even one at Hogmanay, but we鈥檙e a close team and help each other. We鈥檙e like a family. We always do our best to accommodate couples, after all it鈥檚 their day, so they should do it their way.
鈥淚 really like that a lot of people keep in touch with us after their wedding ceremony too, sending us photos from their honeymoon, Christmas cards, even their new baby photos which is lovely. I can鈥檛 imagine working anywhere else鈥
