Can i book my wedding during my divorce?
I've been separated over 4 years ive started my divorce application online, me and my ex husband are both very determined to get divorced, i called them today and she said she has issued his correspondence just so we can get his agreement a bit quicker and then i can get my nisi , we have nothing we want to fight between us the kids are sorted and there is no finances or property it should be a very straight forward divorce, i want to book a wedding for March/April next year, I'm very confident my divorce will finalised october latest (they said online applications are much quicker) ,
am I allowed to book my wedding as I really dont want to lose out on the dates im looking for??
Just to correct a few things as some people didn't understand the way I wrote it, im in the UK, and by them I meant the people handling my divorce , i dont know why it matters how I address him he is my husband but also my ex as we arent together but never mind it didn't matter to the question anyway , but just so future commenters understand he is still my husband but obviously we want to divorce i am with someone else and husband is my ex now
Thanks all I was able to book my wedding all sorted for next year

You can book things but I'd make sure they all have refundable deposits because you never know, especially during the pandemic, how long civil paperwork is going to take.

No one asks you to prove you are single or divorced in order to book a wedding. In fact, no one asks you for proof of being single or divorced in order to get married. There is no legal document that guarantees a person is single. There are divorce documents. Divorce documents just clarify that you divorced someone. They don't guarantee you're single! There is nothing to stand in your way. If you register a legal marriage while still legally wed to someone else.. the government won't notice or care unless some financial document or a legal case is made against you by a spouse who finds out that you've another spouse as well and draws it to the attention of a government organization. There are a surprising number of people claiming to be single and getting married and registering those marriages and none the wiser who are legally married to someone else. There are things that pop up that will bring question to that action but the government is not endlessly searching to make sure that no one is committing bigamy. It's usually discovered by a spouse who suspects it. Or it some sort of government benefit is applied for and it's flagged that the person is also wed to someone else.

If you book the wedding and something goes wrong with the divorce you might lose your deposit or even be liable for the cost of the event. No one could have predicted the effects of this virus a year ago. I don't think there is any other prohibition.

You can book anything, everyone will be glad to take your deposit money. You can't GET married until your divorce is final.

He's either your husband, OR he's your ex-husband.
WHERE is important? In MY State I've never seen a divorce faster than 6 months. When you say "I called them today," who is "them? Who said the divorce will be finalized no later than October. Again, who is "they"?
And "she said she has issued his correspondence" - who is "she" and what "correspondence?"
Allowed? Yes, you are allowed to book a wedding whenever you WANT to book a wedding. Other than the time frame, there is no problem booking a wedding.
But, yes, if "they" said you'll be divorced by October I see no problem booking a wedding next spring. And if "they" are wrong, what is your back up plan?
