Daphne and Michael are one of the thousands of young couples who are calling for humanist marriages to be legally recognised in England and Wales - like they are in the rest of the UK.
Despite officially tying the knot two years ago at their local registry office in Berkshire, unlike the law, they don’t consider themselves officially married until their humanist wedding ceremony in three weeks' time.
They think it’s frustrating that the ‘prescribed’ £100 formality recognises them as husband and wife, but the personalised celebration with family and friends in a festival-like teepee that they have been planning for years won’t be.
