Arrange a meeting with me at a mutually convenient time and place
I will then post you the Notice of Intended Marriage Form (NIM) together with a request for other particulars – or download form (see Legal Requirements)
Alternatively these can be completed at the first meeting with me.
Please do not sign or date the NIM before our meeting.
