Newlyweds should hide wedding info

The latest advice for newlyweds who pose for photos while signing the register is that they should do so with a blank page to avoid their personal details being made public.

Registrar General James Hall has written to all wedding officers in the country suggesting they conceal information - including the full names and addresses of the bride and groom - in the register when pictures are being taken. In a Commons reply to Tory MP Bob Neill, Home Office minister Meg Hillier said there was nothing in the law to prevent photographs being taken, but she said posing with a blank register was a ‘common sense’ way of avoiding identification, particularly if photos are posted on social networking websites.
