Hello Everyone,
We have got married on 15th Feb,2010 with all the rituals followed which was attended by both our parents, relatives and friend. It was done thru mutual agreement. We would like to know how we can register our marriage as my wife is from Ghaziabad and I am from Delhi, Marriage has taken place in Ghaziabad. She also needs to change her last name from Agarwal to Oberoi.
Would appreciate if somebody can help us complete the above mentioned requirements.
We don't want any TOUTS to contact us so please STAY AWAY.
