It does kinda make sense for people who want the legal benefits of being married but without having a wedding, as it would stave off the "what, you're getting married and not having a party???" questions from friends and family.
So telling them they have a civil partnership is a better idea?
You can book a registry office any time you like. All you need is a couple of witnesses. Job done. Why do you need some additional special status to achieve the exact same thing?

'Yeah, mum, I couldn't face spending any money or time on you and the rest of the family, so I just had one of those civil partnership doodads instead. Hope you don't mind?'

I'm sure she'd be delighted.
I think we need to analyse this couple a bit more.
